BinaryFog.NameParser 3.2.4

NameParser

Parses names using English conventions for persons names. Intended to be extendable, the library can be extended just by implement IFullNamePattern interface and assign a score to the returned result.

For the sake of performance, the assembly and types implementing IFullNamePattern must be loaded before the first attempt to use the NameParser.

If you have a person name that is not parsed correctly, please post a message on https://gitter.im/binaryfog/NameParser. I'll see what I can do.

Usage:

string fullName = "Mr. Jack Johnson"; 
FullNameParser target = new FullNameParser(fullName); 
target.Parse();
string firstName = target.FirstName;
string middleName = target.MiddleName;
string lastName = target.LastName;
string title = target.Title;
string nickName = target.NickName;
string suffix = target.Suffix;
string displayName = target.DisplayName;

Alternative usage:

string fullName = "Mr. Jack Johnson"; 
FullNameParser target = FullNameParser.Parse(fullName);
string firstName = target.FirstName;
string middleName = target.MiddleName;
string lastName = target.LastName;
string title = target.Title;
string nickName = target.NickName;
string suffix = target.Suffix;
string displayName = target.DisplayName;
