[erlang-questions] user agent parsing.

[Anthony Molinaro]

This library should do what you want

https://github.com/zotonic/ua_classifier

We've been using it in production for some time (maybe 5-6 years).  Every so often you need to update the database (which is now Apache DeviceMap IIRC).

Hope that helps,
