100=head1 DESCRIPTION
101
102Text::Levenshtein::Edlib is a wrapper around the edlib library that
103computes Levenshtein edit distance and optimal alignment path for a
104pair of strings.
105
106It B<does not handle UTF-8 strings>, for those
107L<Text::Levenshtein::XS> can compute edit distance but not alignment
108path.
109
110This module has two functions:
111
112=over
113
114=item B<distance>(I<$query>, I<$target>, [I<$max_distance>])
115
116This is the basic interface to the library. It is compatible with the
117function of the same name in L<Text::Levenshtein::XS>.
118
119It returns the edit distance between the two given strings. If the
120third argument is specified, and the edit distance is greater than the
121value of the third argument, then the function finishes the
122computation early and returns undef.
123
124=item B<align>(I<$query>, I<$target>, [I<$max_distance>, [I<$mode>, [I<$task>]]])
125
126This is the full-featured interface to the library.
127
128It returns a hashref with the following keys:
129
130=over
131
132=item C<editDistance>
133
134The edit distance of the two strings.
135
136=item C<alphabetLength>
137
138The number of different characters in the query and target together.
139
140=item C<endLocations>
141
142Array of zero-based positions in target where optimal alignment paths
143end. If gap after query is penalized, gap counts as part of query
144(NW), otherwise not.
145
146=item C<startLocations>
147
148Array of zero-based positions in target where optimal alignment paths
149start, they correspond to endLocations. If gap before query is
150penalized, gap counts as part of query (NW), otherwise not.
151
152=item C<alignment>
153
154Alignment is found for first pair of start and end locations.
155Alignment is sequence of numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3. 0 stands for match. 1
156stands for insertion to target. 2 stands for insertion to query. 3
157stands for mismatch. You can use the C<EDLIB_EDOP_*> constants instead
158of 0, 1, 2, and 3. Alignment aligns query to target from begining of
159query till end of query. If gaps are not penalized, they are not in
160alignment.
161
162=back
163
164The third argument, I<$max_distance>, works similarly to the third
165argument of B<distance>: if the distance is more than its value, this
166function returns an empty hashref. Default value is -1, which disables
167this optimization.
168
169The fourth argument, I<$mode>, chooses how Edlib should treat gaps
170before and after query. The options are:
171
172=over
173
174=item C<EDLIB_MODE_NW> (default)
175
176Global method - gaps are not ignored. This is the standard Levenshtein
177distance, and is the default if I<$mode> is not specified.
178
179=item C<EDLIB_MODE_SHW>
180
181Prefix method - gaps at query end are ignored. So the edit distance
182between C<AACT> and C<AACTGGC> is 0, because we can ignore the C<GGC>
183at the end.
184
185=item C<EDLIB_MODE_HW>
186
187Infix method - gaps at both query start and end are ignored. So the
188edit distance between C<ACT> and C<CGACTGAC> is 0, because C<CG> at
189the beginning and C<GAC> at the end of the target are ignored.
190
191=back
192
193The fifth argument, I<$task>, chooses what we want to compute.
194If set to C<EDLIB_TASK_PATH> (default), all the keys described above will be computed.
195If set to C<EDLIB_TASK_LOC>, all keys except for C<alignment> will be computed.
196If set to C<EDLIB_TASK_DISTANCE>, all keys except for C<alignment> and C<startLocations> will be computed.
197The less we compute, the faster the function will run.
198
199=back
200
201=head2 EXPORT
202
203All constants by default. You can export the functions C<align> and
204C<distance> and any of the constants below. You can use the tags
205C<:constants> to export every constant, and C<:all> to export every
206constant, C<align> and C<distance>.
