Is there somewhere I can find out what the different methods do?

I'm not familiar with the Python version of this; I gather from the readme that there are several different method calls that do different things with matching. I've found:

ratio
partialRatio
various tokenX methods
weightedRatio
various extractX methods

I generated the javadoc, but that didn't explain what these different methods do. I think the fuzzy matching could be very useful in what I'm doing, but just using ratio is a bit limiting, and I don't know what the other ones do. Is there documentation of what these things mean and do somewhere?

This is likely not relevant for you anymore - but for anyone who has the same question (like me), this article neatly explained most of the differences: https://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/fuzzywuzzy-fuzzy-string-matching-in-python/

Mind, this is about the Python version (which should be the same in terms of naming).

Very helpful -- thanks.
