public abstract class Signature
extends BaseEntity
implements Comparable<Signature>

Signature of a User-Agent - the relevant characters from a User-Agent structured in a manner to enable rapid comparison with a target User-Agent.

A signature contains those characters of a User-Agent which are relevant for the purposes of device detection. For example: most User-Agents will start with "Mozilla" and therefore these characters are of very little use when detecting devices. Other characters such as those that represent the model of the hardware are very relevant.

A signature contains both an array of relevant characters from User-Agents identified when the data was created and the unique complete node identifies of relevant sub strings contained in multiple signatures and User-Agents. Together this information is used at detection time to rapidly identify the signature matching a target User-Agent.

Signatures relate to device properties via profiles. Each signature relates to one profile for each Component type.

Unlike other entities the signature may have a varying number of nodes and profiles associated with it depending on the data set. All signatures within a data set will have the same number of profiles and nodes associated with them all. As these can change across data sets they can't be included in the source code.

Objects of this class should not be created directly as they are part of the internal logic. Use the relevant Dataset method to access these objects.
