RapidFuzz is a fast string matching library for Python and C++, which is designed to be a drop-in replacement for FuzzyWuzzy. It is written in C++ and provides significant performance improvements for string matching tasks. Key features: * Fast performance: significantly faster than FuzzyWuzzy and other similar libraries. * MIT license: unlike FuzzyWuzzy, which is GPL licensed. * Compatibility: provides the same interface as FuzzyWuzzy. * Algorithmic improvements: fixes multiple bugs in FuzzyWuzzy's algorithms. * Wide range of string metrics: includes Levenshtein, Hamming, Jaro-Winkler, and many more. * Specialized 'process' module for efficient processing of large datasets.
