The Jaro-Winkler com.nexthink.utils.parsing.distance measures the similarity between two strings.
This is a metric which is best suited for short strings such as person's names,
since it performs a comparison based on a limited window (whereas edit com.nexthink.utils.parsing.distance
methods compare all characters)
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro%E2%80%93Winkler_distance for the definition.
See http://alias-i.com/lingpipe/docs/api/com/aliasi/spell/JaroWinklerDistance.html for a detailed
explanation of the algorithm.
