# edit-distance
[](https://travis-ci.org/febeling/edit-distance)
[](https://crates.io/crates/edit-distance)
Calculate Levenshtein distance between two strings.
The Levenshtein edit distance is a measure for the similarity between
two strings. It's helpful for spelling correction, fuzzy completion,
type-ahead and similar use cases.
This implementation supports Unicode.
## Installation
In Cargo.toml add
```toml
[dependencies]
edit-distance = "2.1.0"
```
Then re-run `cargo build`. That fetches the dependencies and builds
the code.
## Usage
```rust
extern crate edit_distance;
edit_distance("kitten", "sitting"); // => 3
```
