NReco.Text.AhoCorasickDoubleArrayTrie

Very fast C# implementation of Aho Corasick algorithm based on Double Array Trie: efficient text search of many substrings with O(n) complexity.

NuGet Release | Tests

  • very fast: can be used for efficient substring search of thousands keywords with O(n) complexity.
  • trie represented with double array approach to minimize memory usage
  • automata state can be effectively saved/loaded to binary stream (say, file)
  • supports case-insensitive search

How to use

// note: keywords may be provided as enumeration of KeyValuePair
var keywords = new Dictionary<string,int>() {
  {"are", 1},
  {"is", 1},
  {"he", 2},
  {"she", 2},
  {"it", 2},
  {"we", 2}
};
var matcher = new AhoCorasickDoubleArrayTrie<int>( keywords );
var text = "we are all champions";
matcher.ParseText(text, (hit) => {
	Console.WriteLine("Matched: {0} = {1}", text.Substring(hit.Begin, hit.Length), hit.Value );
});
