ua-parser

ua-parser is a multi-language port of BrowserScope's user agent string parser.

The crux of the original parser--the data collected by Steve Souders over the years--has been extracted into a separate YAML file so as to be reusable as is by implementations in other programming languages.

ua-parser is just a small wrapper around this data.

Usage :: node.js

varuaParser=require('ua-parser');varua=uaParser.parse(navigator.userAgent);console.log(ua.tostring());// -> "Safari 5.0.1"console.log(ua.toVersionString());// -> "5.0.1"console.log(ua.family);// -> "Safari"console.log(ua.major);// -> 5console.log(ua.minor);// -> 0console.log(ua.patch);// -> 1

Usage :: python

# Install this into python site_packages like so:## python setup.py install## Now you're good to go.fromua_parserimportuser_agent_parser# On the server, you could use a WebOB request object.user_agent_string=request.META.get('HTTP_USER_AGENT')
# For demonstration purposes, though an iPhone ...user_agent_string='Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9B179 Safari/7534.48.3'# Get back a big dictionary of all the goodies.result_dict=user_agent_parser.Parse(user_agent_string)
printresult_dict['user_agent']
# {'major': '5', 'minor': '1', 'family': 'Mobile Safari', 'patch': None}printresult_dict['os']
# {'major': '5', 'patch_minor': None, 'minor': '1', 'family': 'iOS', 'patch': None}printresult_dict['device']
# {'is_spider': False, 'is_mobile': True, 'family': 'iPhone'}

Usage :: java

importua_parser.Parser;
importua_parser.Client;
...
StringuaString = "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_1_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9B206 Safari/7534.48.3";
ParseruaParser = newParser();
Clientc = uaParser.parse(uaString);
System.out.println(c.userAgent.family); // => "Mobile Safari"System.out.println(c.userAgent.major); // => "5"System.out.println(c.userAgent.minor); // => "1"System.out.println(c.os.family); // => "iOS"System.out.println(c.os.major); // => "5"System.out.println(c.os.minor); // => "1"System.out.println(c.device.family); // => "iPhone"System.out.println(c.device.isMobile); // => trueSystem.out.println(c.device.isSpider); // => false
