Release of Optimaize PII Platform with Java 21.
We are pleased to announce the deployment of NameAPI Software Version 11.0.0, now running with Java 21.
Staying up to date allows us to continue delivering reliable, future-ready technology to our customers.
Functionalities in this version
- Update Project to Java 21
Upgrading from Java 17 to Java 21 involves migrating the application source code, dependencies, and build tools to the latest Java Long-Term Support (LTS) platform.
This transition ensures compatibility with the most recent language features and security updates, while improving runtime performance and overall maintainability.
The goal of this migration is to leverage the advancements introduced in Java 21 for enhanced stability, efficiency, and forward compatibility across all NameAPI components. - Expanded Multicultural Name Database
The internal database of names has been extended to include a broader range of cultural and linguistic variations.
This enhancement allows for more accurate parsing, normalization, and matching of names originating from diverse regions around the world, strengthening the global applicability of the NameAPI services. - NameMatcher Improvements
The NameMatcher module has been enhanced with optimized algorithms for name comparison and similarity scoring.
These improvements result in higher precision and consistency when evaluating personal names across multiple cultural and linguistic contexts, providing users with more reliable and interpretable matching outcomes.
