# ISLAP – International Sanctions List Approximation Processing

**ISLAP** is a modular Python project designed to parse and load sanctions data, store it in a local database, and allow advanced name-matching using multiple string similarity algorithms. It supports both automated parsing of XML-based data and interactive searching through a command-line interface.

---

## 📦 Features

- 📂 **Sanctions List Parser**: Converts XML-based watchlists into an SQLite database.
- 🔍 **Search Engine**: Finds similar names using fuzzy string matching.
- 📊 **Scoring Engine**: Ranks matches using multiple algorithms:
- Jaro-Winkler
- Levenshtein Distance
- Soundex
- Combined weighted scoring
- Modular structure for easy maintenance and scaling
