NameParserSharp
Based upon nameparser 0.36, NameParserSharp is a C# library that parses a human name into constituent fields Title, First, Middle, Last, Suffix, and Nickname from the HumanName class. For example:
var jfk = new HumanName("president john 'jack' f kennedy");
// person.Title == "president"
// person.First == "john"
// person.Middle == "f"
// person.Last == "kennedy"
// person.Nickname == "jack"
var jfk_alt = new HumanName("kennedy, president john (jack) f");
Assert.IsTrue(jfk == jfk_alt);NameParserSharp implements the functionality of the Python project on which it is based in a C# idiomatic way. It also,
- eliminates nearly all regular expressions for efficiency
- adds unit tests
- improves nickname handling to expand delimiters:
John (Jack) Torrence==John 'Jack' Torrence==John "Jack" Torrence - parses out multiple names from a single string as you might expect, as in
mr john and mrs jane doe
NameParserSharp is available as a NuGet package: Install-Package NameParserSharp
