Parse

Parses a raw User-Agent header value into a compact UserAgent record. The method extracts the browser family and major version into Browser, and the operating-system family and major version into Device.

Use this method when application code only needs basic client information and does not need the full UAParser object model. When the input is null or empty, the method returns Unknown for both values so callers can safely store or display the result without special error handling.

Usage

csharp

using AlmightyShogun.AspNet.Utils;

UserAgent userAgent = UserAgentParser.Parse(
    "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 Chrome/124.0 Safari/537.36"
);

Console.WriteLine(userAgent.Browser);
Console.WriteLine(userAgent.Device);

Parameters

userAgent: string?
Raw User-Agent header value to parse. null or empty values return Unknown browser and device values.

Returns

A UserAgent record containing the parsed browser and device strings.
