WFA-JS
An implementation of the Wavefront Alignment Algorithm (WFA) which can be using in Javascript. WFA is a state-of-the-art string alignment algorithm which compares two strings and calculates the edit distance. Unlike traditional methods, WFA runs proportionally to the length of the strings and the edit distance. WFA is commonly used in bioinformatics, but it can be used in many fuzzy string search algorithms as the edit distance function. WFA-JS is written in Golang and compiled to web assembly which can be loaded into javascript.
