The 'useragent' package is similar to 'universal-user-agent' in that it allows for the parsing and generation of user-agent strings. However, 'useragent' focuses more on parsing existing user-agent strings to extract detailed information about the client, such as the browser name, version, and operating system. It does not focus on generating user-agent strings for different environments.
Bowser is a package designed to parse user-agent strings and identify browser details, such as name, version, and engine. It is similar to 'universal-user-agent' in its ability to work with user-agent strings, but its primary focus is on parsing and identifying browser characteristics rather than generating user-agent strings. Bowser offers detailed detection capabilities, making it suitable for projects that require in-depth browser analysis.
