gocd

gocd is a Go library for matching and parsing company designators (like Limited, LLC, Incorporée) attached to company names.

It uses (and bundles) Profound Network's company designator dataset maintained here:

https://github.com/ProfoundNetworks/company_designator

Usage

    go get github.com/ProfoundNetworks/gocd

    // Instantiate a parser
    parser, err := gocd.New()
    if err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Parse a company name string
    res := parser.Parse("Profound Networks LLC")

    // Report parse results
    fmt.Println(res.Input)      // Profound Networks LLC
    fmt.Println(res.Matched)    // true
    fmt.Println(res.ShortName)  // Profound Networks
    fmt.Println(res.Designator) // LLC
    fmt.Println(res.Position)   // end

If no designators are found, res.Matched will be false, res.ShortName will equal res.Input, and res.Position will be "none".

Status

gocd is alpha software. Interfaces may break and change until an official version 1.0.0 is released. gocd uses semantic versioning conventions.
