User Agent Parser API

By default, an internet browser provides a User-Agent string (UA) which carries detailed device and browser information (type, version, OS etc).

However, different browsers provide the UA strings in different formats, making it difficult to interpret this information directly. This could require hours of coding and testing a parser that effectively reads all the variations.

This User-Agent Parser API solves this problem by providing an extremely quick and simple parser which can provide clearly readable and defined information based on the provided UA string.

UA string is commonly used in web analytics tools to monitor and identify access to your website by device type. This can provide useful insights such as the proportion of your traffic that comes from mobile devices and the level of need to create a responsive web design and deliver mobile-optimised content.
