user_agent

UserAgent is a Go library that parses HTTP User Agents. As an example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/mssola/user_agent"
)

func main() {
    // The "New" function will create a new UserAgent object and it will parse
    // the given string. If you need to parse more strings, you can re-use
    // this object and call: ua.Parse("another string")
    ua := user_agent.New("Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.7; en-us; Nexus One Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1")

    fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Mobile())   // => true
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Bot())      // => false
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Mozilla())  // => "5.0"
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Model())    // => "Nexus One"

    fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Platform()) // => "Linux"
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.OS())       // => "Android 2.3.7"

    name, version := ua.Engine()
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", name)          // => "AppleWebKit"
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", version)       // => "533.1"

    name, version = ua.Browser()
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", name)          // => "Android"
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", version)       // => "4.0"

    // Let's see an example with a bot.

    ua.Parse("Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)")

    fmt.Printf("%v\n", ua.Bot())      // => true

    name, version = ua.Browser()
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", name)          // => Googlebot
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", version)       // => 2.1
}
