WURFL Microservice (by ScientiaMobile, Inc.) is a mobile device detection service that can quickly and accurately detect over 500 capabilities of visiting devices. It can differentiate between portable mobile devices, desktop devices, SmartTVs and any other types of devices that have a web browser.
This is the Rust Client API for accessing the WURFL Microservice. The API is released under Open-Source and can be integrated with other open-source or proprietary code. In order to operate, it requires access to a running instance of the WURFL Microservice product, such as:
-
WURFL Microservice for Docker: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-microservice-docker-detect-device/
-
WURFL Microservice for AWS: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-device-detection-microservice-aws/
-
WURFL Microservice for Azure: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-microservice-for-azure/
-
WURFL Microservice for Google Cloud Platform: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-microservice-for-gcp/
Compiling the WURFL microservice client requires Rust 1.48 or above.
The Example project contains an example of client api usage for a console application :
use std::collections::HashMap;
use wmclient::WmClient;
fn main() {
// Let's create the WURFL microservice client by setting the connection data of out WURFL Microservice server
let client_res = WmClient::new("http", "localhost", "8080", "");
// Client is mutable because because some its internal can be modified depending on its interaction with the user or
// the server.
let mut client: WmClient;

client = client_res.unwrap();
println!("-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------");
println!("WURFL Microservice client created successfully. Rust client API version: {}", client.get_api_version());
println!("-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------");
} else {
