Rust phonetic

This is a rust port of v1.15 Apache commons-codec's phonetic algorithms.

Algorithms

Currently, there are :

• Beider-Morse
• Caverphone 1
• Caverphone 2
• Cologne
• Daitch Mokotoff Soundex
• Match Rating Approach
• Metaphone
• Metaphone (Double)
• NYSIIS
• Phonex
• Soundex
• Soundex (Refined)

Please note that most of these algorithms are designed for the Latin alphabet, and they are usually designed for certain use cases (eg. English names / English dictionary words, ...etc.).

Examples

Beider-Morse

fn main() -> Result<(), rphonetic::PhoneticError> {
    use std::path::PathBuf;
    use rphonetic::{BeiderMorseBuilder, ConfigFiles, Encoder};

    let config_files = ConfigFiles::new(&PathBuf::from("./test_assets/cc-rules/"))?;
    let builder = BeiderMorseBuilder::new(&config_files);
    let beider_morse = builder.build();

    assert_eq!(beider_morse.encode("Van Helsing"),"(Ylznk|ilzn|ilznk|xilzn|xilznk)-(banilznk|bonilznk|fYnYlznk|fYnilznk|fanYlznk|fanilznk|fonYlznk|fonilznk|vYnYlznk|vYnilznk|vanYlznk|vaniilznk|vanilzn|vanilznk|vonYlznk|voniilznk|vonilzn|vonilznk)");
    Ok(())
}

Caverphone 1 & 2

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{Caverphone1, Encoder};

    let caverphone = Caverphone1;
    assert_eq!(caverphone.encode("Thompson"), "TMPSN1");
}

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{Caverphone2, Encoder};

    let caverphone = Caverphone2;
    assert_eq!(caverphone.encode("Thompson"), "TMPSN11111");
}

Cologne

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{Cologne, Encoder};

    let cologne = Cologne;
    assert_eq!(cologne.encode("m\u{00FC}ller"), "657");
}

Daitch-Mokotoff

fn main() -> Result<(), rphonetic::PhoneticError> {
    use rphonetic::{DaitchMokotoffSoundex, DaitchMokotoffSoundexBuilder, Encoder};

    const COMMONS_CODEC_RULES: &str = include_str!("./rules/dmrules.txt");

    let encoder = DaitchMokotoffSoundexBuilder::with_rules(COMMONS_CODEC_RULES).build()?;
    assert_eq!(encoder.soundex("Rosochowaciec"), "944744|944745|944754|944755|945744|945745|945754|945755");
    Ok(())
}

Match Rating Approach

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{Encoder, MatchRatingApproach};
    
    let match_rating = MatchRatingApproach;
    assert_eq!(match_rating.encode("Smith"), "SMTH");
}

Metaphone

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{Encoder, Metaphone};
    
    let metaphone = Metaphone::default();
    assert_eq!(metaphone.encode("Joanne"), "JN");
}

Metaphone (Double)

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{DoubleMetaphone, Encoder};

    let double_metaphone = DoubleMetaphone::default();
    assert_eq!(double_metaphone.encode("jumped"), "JMPT");
    assert_eq!(double_metaphone.encode_alternate("jumped"), "AMPT");
}

Phonex

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{Phonex, Encoder};

    // Strict
    let phonex = Phonex::default();
    assert_eq!(phonex.encode("William"),"W450");
}

Nysiis

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{Nysiis, Encoder};

    // Strict
    let nysiis = Nysiis::default();
    assert_eq!(nysiis.encode("WESTERLUND"),"WASTAR");

    // Not strict
    let nysiis = Nysiis::new(false);
    assert_eq!(nysiis.encode("WESTERLUND"),"WASTARLAD");
}

Soundex

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{Encoder, Soundex};

    let soundex = Soundex::default();
    assert_eq!(soundex.encode("jumped"), "J513");
}

Soundex (Refined)

fn main() {
    use rphonetic::{Encoder, RefinedSoundex};
    
    let refined_soundex = RefinedSoundex::default();
    assert_eq!(refined_soundex.encode("jumped"), "J408106");
}

Benchmarking

Benchmarking use criterion.

They were done on an Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ with 16GB RAM.

To run benches against main baseline :

cargo bench --bench benchmark -- --baseline main

To replace main baseline :

cargo bench --bench benchmark -- --save-baseline main

Do not run Criterion benches on CI .
