The JavaPermutationTools (JPT) API provides Java classes for computation on permutations and sequences. The current release enables representing and generating permutations, implementations of a variety of permutation distance metrics, as well as sequence distance metrics. The sequence distance metrics support computing the distance between pairs of Strings, arrays of primitive values, as well as arrays of objects. More computation on permutations will be added in later releases.

The source code repository is hosted on GitHub, and includes the source code, example programs, as well as programs that reproduce results from published research papers that have either used this API or earlier unreleased versions of it. The source code is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3).
