SwiftLCS
Swift implementation of the longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithm for comparing collections.
What is SwiftLCS?
SwiftLCS is a Swift library that extends the `Collection` protocol to find the longest common subsequence (LCS) between two collections. It solves the classic LCS problem, which is fundamental for comparing sequences in applications like diffing tools, version control systems, and data analysis. The library provides methods such as `longestCommonSubsequence` and `diff` to work with strings, arrays, and other collection types.
Swift developers working on iOS, macOS, or other Swift projects who need to compare sequences, such as those building diffing utilities, version control features, or data analysis tools. It is also suitable for developers requiring Objective-C compatibility in sequence comparisons.
Developers choose SwiftLCS for its clean, Swifty API that integrates seamlessly with Swift's `Collection` protocol, offering out-of-the-box support for strings and arrays. Its unique selling point is providing both the LCS result and detailed index diffing (common, added, removed) in a single library, with considerations for Objective-C object comparison.
