+    """The Jaccard similarity between two strings.
+
+    This is a measure of the overlap of the number of elements in two sets of unique
+    tokens, where tokenization is defined by `tokenize`. Tokenization by character is
+    most suited for situations where character-level variations are important,
+    such as with typos, short text or languages without clear word boundaries
+    (e.g. Japanese and Chinese).
+    In contrast, word-level similarity is preferred when the semantic content of the
+    text is more important, rather than minor variations in the spelling or syntax.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> import ibis
+    >>> from mismo.text import jaccard
+
+    `tokenize='by_character'` replicates the implementation built into duckdb.
+    >>> jaccard(ibis.literal("foo"),
+    ... ibis.literal("foo"), tokenize='by_character').execute()
+    np.float64(1.0)
+    >>> jaccard(ibis.literal("foo"),
+    ... ibis.literal("food"), tokenize='by_character').execute()
+    np.float64(0.6666666666666666)
+    >>> jaccard(ibis.null(str),
+    ... ibis.literal("food"), tokenize='by_character').execute()
+    np.float64(nan)
+
+    word-level similarity can be achieved using `tokenize='on_whitespace'`.
+    >>> jaccard(ibis.literal("Paris is the capital of France"),
+    ... ibis.literal("The largest city in France is Paris"),
+    ... tokenize='on_whitespace').execute()
+    np.float64(0.3)
+
+    In both cases, comparing to an empty string will return a similarity of 0
+    >>> jaccard(ibis.literal("foo"), ibis.literal(""),
+    ... tokenize='on_whitespace').execute()
+    np.float64(0.0)
+    >>> jaccard(ibis.literal("foo"), ibis.literal(""),
+    ... tokenize='by_character').execute()
