The UADetector core library includes the API and implementation to read the detection information and the functions to identify User-Agents, but not the database (also known as UAS data). The UAS data can be found in the resources module.

/**
 * Defines an user agent.

 * 

 * An user agent is a client program with which a network service can be used. The user agent is the interface to
 * representing contents and taking orders of an user. Examples of user agents are web browsers, email programs, news
 * reader and web crawlers.

 * 

 * The implementation of this interface may be mutable or immutable. This interface only gives access to retrieve data,
 * never to change it.
