PowerShell module for generating random **User Agents**.

## How to use

```powershell

$agents = Get-UserAgent

```

Output

```text

ua                          : Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 18_1_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/18.1.1 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1

percent                     : 0.0969801619581542

type                        : mobile

device_brand                : Apple

browser                     : Mobile Safari

browser_version             : 18.1.1.0

browser_version_major_minor : 18.1

os                          : iOS

os_version                  : 18.1.1.0

platform                    : iPhone

```

## How it works

Module comes with bundled `user-agents.dat` file which contains different User Agent entries.

The process of creating it:

- Download the version of **user-agents.json** from [**user-agents**](https://github.com/intoli/user-agents/)

- Preprocess using [**uap-csharp**](https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-csharp/)

- Serialize into an XML-based representation (Common Language Infrastructure (CLI)) of all the objects

- Optimize for smaller size

- Store as a file `user-agents.dat`
