This library is an approximation of my NameParserSharp
C# library used to parse peoples' names into constituent parts. For example:
let p = PersonName::parse("Johannes Diderik van der Waals").unwrap();
assert_eq!(p.first, "Johannes");
assert_eq!(p.middle, "Diderik");
assert_eq!(p.last, "van der Waals");
assert_eq!(p.suffix, "");
The original project and therefore my direct C# port are LGPL-encumbered. This implementation is inspired by but not a port of the C#; therefore, I believe it is not LGPL-encumbered. As such, I am releasing this under the MIT license.
This version does not have all the functionality of the other libraries. Notably:
James (Jimmy) Carter
John D. and Katherine T. MacArthur
doesn't parse out to become two individuals.
