# Talisman
[Full documentation](https://yomguithereal.github.io/talisman/)
Talisman is a JavaScript library collecting algorithms, functions and various building blocks for [fuzzy matching](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching), [information retrieval](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_retrieval) and [natural language processing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_processing).
## Installation
You can install **Talisman** through npm:
```bash
npm install talisman
```
## Documentation
The library's full documentation can be found [here](https://yomguithereal.github.io/talisman/).
## Bibliography
An extensive bibliography of the methods & functions implemented by the library can be found [here](./BIBLIOGRAPHY.md).
## Goals
* :package: **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.
* :bulb: **Straightforward & 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.
* :dango: **Consistent API**: the library's API is fully consistent and one should not struggle to understand how to apply two different distance metrics.
* :postal_horn: **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.
* :zap: **Performant**: the library should be as performant as possible for a high-level programming language library.
* :globe_with_meridians: **Cross-platform**: the library is cross-platform and can be used both with Node.js and in the browser.
## How to cite
**Talisman** has been published as a [paper](https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.02405) on the [Journal Of Open Source Software (JOSS)](https://joss.theoj.org/).
