Documentation

The library's full documentation can be found here.

Goals

• 📦 Modular: the library is completely modular. This means that if you only need to compute a levenshtein distance, you will only load the relevant code.
• 💡 Straightfoward & simple: just want to compute a Jaccard index? No need to instantiate a class and use two methods to pass options and then finally succeed in getting the index. Just apply the jaccard function and get going.
• 🍡 Consistent API: the library's API is fully consistent and one should not struggle to understand how to apply two different distance metrics.
• 📯 Functional: except for cases where classes might be useful (clustering notably), Talisman only uses functions, consumes raw data and order functions' arguments to make partial application & currying etc. as easy as possible.
• ⚡️ Performant: the library should be as performant as possible for a high-level programming language library.
• 🌐 Cross-platform: the library is cross-platform and can be used both with Node.js and in the browser.
