Description

Computes Levenshtein edit distances and string similarity measures efficiently. It helps applications compare names, detect near-duplicates, rank suggestions, or match records that are not exactly identical.

Similarity scores are hints, not proof that two records represent the same thing. Review results before using them for identity, compliance, or destructive deduplication.
