title: 'fuzzystring: Fast Fuzzy String Joins for Data Frames'
version: 0.0.5
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.fuzzystring
abstract: Perform fuzzy joins on data frames using approximate string matching. Implements
  inner, left, right, full, semi, and anti joins with string distance metrics from
  the 'stringdist' package, including Optimal String Alignment, Levenshtein, Damerau-Levenshtein,
  Jaro-Winkler, q-gram, cosine, Jaccard, and Soundex. Uses a 'data.table' backend
  plus compiled 'C++' result assembly to reduce overhead in large joins, while adaptive
  candidate planning avoids unnecessary distance evaluations in single-column string
  joins. Suitable for reconciling misspellings, inconsistent labels, and other near-match
  identifiers while optionally returning the computed distance for each match. Bibliographic
  references include Van der Loo, M. P. J. (2014) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=stringdist>
  and Robinson, D. (2015) <https://github.com/dgrtwo/fuzzyjoin>.
