109=head1 DESCRIPTION
110
111Text::Levenshtein::Edlib is a wrapper around the edlib library that
112computes Levenshtein edit distance and optimal alignment path for a
113pair of strings.
114
115It B<does not handle UTF-8 strings>, for those
116L<Text::Levenshtein::XS> can compute edit distance but not alignment
117path.
118
119This module has two functions:
120
121=over
122
159e7b25 123=item B<distance>(I<$query>, I<$target>, [I<$max_distance>, [I<$mode>]])
a99d15a3
MG
124
125This is the basic interface to the library. It is compatible with the
126function of the same name in L<Text::Levenshtein::XS>.
127
128It returns the edit distance between the two given strings. If the
129third argument is specified, and the edit distance is greater than the
130value of the third argument, then the function finishes the
159e7b25
MG
131computation early and returns undef. See below for the meaning of the
132optional I<$mode> argument.
a99d15a3
MG
133
134=item B<align>(I<$query>, I<$target>, [I<$max_distance>, [I<$mode>, [I<$task>]]])
135
136This is the full-featured interface to the library.
137
138It returns a hashref with the following keys:
139
140=over
141
142=item C<editDistance>
143
144The edit distance of the two strings.
145
146=item C<alphabetLength>
147
148The number of different characters in the query and target together.
149
150=item C<endLocations>
151
152Array of zero-based positions in target where optimal alignment paths
153end. If gap after query is penalized, gap counts as part of query
154(NW), otherwise not.
155
156=item C<startLocations>
157
158Array of zero-based positions in target where optimal alignment paths
159start, they correspond to endLocations. If gap before query is
160penalized, gap counts as part of query (NW), otherwise not.
161
162=item C<alignment>
163
164Alignment is found for first pair of start and end locations.
165Alignment is sequence of numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3. 0 stands for match. 1
166stands for insertion to target. 2 stands for insertion to query. 3
167stands for mismatch. You can use the C<EDLIB_EDOP_*> constants instead
168of 0, 1, 2, and 3. Alignment aligns query to target from begining of
169query till end of query. If gaps are not penalized, they are not in
170alignment.
171
172=back
173
174The third argument, I<$max_distance>, works similarly to the third
175argument of B<distance>: if the distance is more than its value, this
176function returns an empty hashref. Default value is -1, which disables
177this optimization.
178
179The fourth argument, I<$mode>, chooses how Edlib should treat gaps
180before and after query. The options are:
181
182=over
183
184=item C<EDLIB_MODE_NW> (default)
185
186Global method - gaps are not ignored. This is the standard Levenshtein
187distance, and is the default if I<$mode> is not specified.
188
189=item C<EDLIB_MODE_SHW>
190
191Prefix method - gaps at query end are ignored. So the edit distance
192between C<AACT> and C<AACTGGC> is 0, because we can ignore the C<GGC>
193at the end.
194
195=item C<EDLIB_MODE_HW>
196
197Infix method - gaps at both query start and end are ignored. So the
198edit distance between C<ACT> and C<CGACTGAC> is 0, because C<CG> at
199the beginning and C<GAC> at the end of the target are ignored.
200
201=back
202
203The fifth argument, I<$task>, chooses what we want to compute.
204If set to C<EDLIB_TASK_PATH> (default), all the keys described above will be computed.
205If set to C<EDLIB_TASK_LOC>, all keys except for C<alignment> will be computed.
206If set to C<EDLIB_TASK_DISTANCE>, all keys except for C<alignment> and C<startLocations> will be computed.
207The less we compute, the faster the function will run.
208
209=back
210
211=head2 EXPORT
212
213All constants by default. You can export the functions C<align> and
214C<distance> and any of the constants below. You can use the tags
215C<:constants> to export every constant, and C<:all> to export every
216constant, C<align> and C<distance>.
