NameHunter API quick start examples
These quick start examples provide several small working programs
that demonstrate the basic NameHunter functionality.
NameHunter quick start example: Match two names
Here is a very simple example of a working program that uses the
NameHunter API. It compares two names and reports whether or not they match.
It compiles and creates a NameHunter instance and calls the NameHunter::nameMatch
function. Note that some of the most powerful NameHunter features such as
variants are not enabled.
NameHunter quick start example: Score two names
Here is simple example that reports on the similarity between two
names using the NameHunter::nameScore function. No special features are used.
NameHunter quick start example: Searchlist and Search
In typical cases, you will want to store your database of names
in a NameHunter SearchList object and use a NameHunter Searcher object to
search the list with a query name. Here is a simple example of the SearchList,
Searcher paradigm. Note that this example does not use cultures, comparison
parameter tuning, or any of the other NameHunter special features.
