Description: Provides a high-performance interface for calculating string similarities and distances, leveraging the efficient library 'RapidFuzz' <https://github.com/rapidfuzz/rapidfuzz-cpp>. This package integrates the 'C++' implementation, allowing 'R' users to access cutting-edge algorithms for fuzzy matching and text analysis. Supported metrics include Levenshtein, Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Jaro, Jaro-Winkler, Longest Common Subsequence (LCS), Optimal String Alignment (OSA), Indel, Prefix, and Postfix distances and similarities, as well as multiple fuzzy matching ratios.
