soundex-encode

Soundex Encoder

A simple library to encode strings using the Soundex algorithm.

var Soundex = require('soundex-encode')
 
// Standard 3-digit
Soundex('Battlestar') // B342
 
// MySQL (at least in 5.6...)
Soundex('Battlestar', {mysql:true}) // B34236
 
// Un-zero-finished hashes
Soundex('Jackson', {zeroed:false}) // J25

Notes

• Could be errors, need to test more extensively.
• Plan to add a distance comparator for computing the similarity between two hashes.
