ua-parser is a multi-language port of BrowserScope's user agent string parser.
The crux of the original parser--the data collected by Steve Souders over the years--has been extracted into a separate YAML file so as to be reusable as is by implementations in other programming languages.
ua-parser is just a small wrapper around this data.

There are a few other libraries which make use of ua-parser's patterns. These include:
require("uaparser.php");
$ua = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Ma...";
$parser = new UAParser;
$result = $parser->parse($ua);
print $result->ua->family; // Safari
print $result->ua->major; // 6
print $result->ua->minor; // 0
print $result->ua->patch; // 2
print $result->ua->toString; // Safari 6.0.2
print $result->ua->toVersionString; // 6.0.2
print $result->os->family; // Mac OS X
print $result->os->major; // 10
print $result->os->minor; // 7
print $result->os->patch; // 5
print $result->os->patch_minor; // [null]
print $result->os->toString; // Mac OS X 10.7.5
print $result->os->toVersionString; // 10.7.5
print $result->device->family; // Other
print $result->toFullString; // Safari 6.0.2/Mac OS X 10.7.5
