WURFL Devices and WURFL Capabilities

This document gives a short description of the WURFL tags and a complete list of all the capabilities (as of August 2007)

WURFL Devices
WURFL devices contain the user-agent string, fall_back attribute and unique ID. There may also be an attribute (actual_device_root="true") that marks a device as "real". This attribute can be useful for APIs that intend to use the WURFl to compile human-readable list of devices.
Here is a sample WURFL entry that defines a device:

<device user_agent="O2-X1i" 
        actual_device_root="true" 
        fall_back="opwv_v61_generic" 
        id="o2_x1i_ver1">

Groups:
Groups are only meant to make the WURFL more readable to humans. Group names are self-explaining. For example, there is a group called "mms" for capabilities regarding MMS messaging, another group called "wml_ui" for capabilities about how devices support WML tags and how they display them.
Here is an example of a group can be defined:
<group id="sound_format">

Capabilities:
Capabilities are collected in groups for readability. We cannot have two capabilities by the same name (i.e. "name" attribute) even in when in two different groups. More concisely, each capability name is unique.
Capabilities always have a value. Value can represent a boolean, a number or a string. A capability looks something like this:
<capability name="aac" value="true"/>


WURFL capabilities.
Some capabilities are meant to be used by themselves, some others should be used in combination.
If you want to know if a device is able to show a gif image in a page you should simply check if the capability "gif" is set to true. On the other side all the capabilities listed in the xhtml_ui group are only meant for xHTML presentation, so it's useless to check if "xhtml_honors_bgcolor" is set to true if you are generating an HTML 4.0 page. The "xhtml_honors_bgcolor" may be used in combination with the capabilities listed in the "markup" group. You will first check if xHTML-MP is supported (html_wi_oma_xhtmlmp_1_0), if so, you may check "xhtml_honors_bgcolor" and you may use tags about it only in an xHTML page.
If you have doubts about how to use a capability you may ask on the wmlprogramming list. Make sure you check the archives, before asking, someone might have already asked the same question!

Here are all the capabilities in the WURFL today:

select group: [product_info | wml_ui | chtml_ui | xhtml_ui | ajax | markup | cache | display | image_format | bugs | wta | security | bearer | storage | object_download | wap_push | drm | streaming | mms | j2me | sms | sound_format | flash_lite]



Group:product_info (human readable brand and model name and other generic info)
Capability Name Type Description
brand_namestringBrand
model_namestringModel
uniquetrue/falseUA is repetead for different devices (rare, but deadly occurence)
ununiqueness_handlerStringHow to handle a non-unique User-agent String (API/framework may support specific mechanism to handle HTTP request directly)
is_wireless_devicetrue/falseTells you if a device is wireless or not. Specifically a mobile phone or a PDA are considered wireless devices, a desktop PC or a laptop are not
device_claims_web_supporttrue/falseWhether the device is wireless or not, the browser may claim web support or not. Opera for Symbian is an example of a browser that claims web support (and tries to render at best) a page that was developed for web presentation independently from the device.
has_pointing_devicetrue/false (deprecated): The presence of a stylus is the tipical example of this, but there are also devices with mouse-like user controls that can have this capability set to true.In general, not having to click your way to each and every link (or form widget) makes a big difference and this capability captures that.
pointing_methodjoystick, stylus, touchscreen, clickwheel, "" (empty string) Links and widgets can be activated with either a stylus, a finger, a joystick or a BlackBerry-style clickwheel. Devices with this capability set to empty string ("") should have has_pointing_device set to false.
has_qwerty_keyboardtrue/false Some devices come with a full querty keyboard. This may have a say on how forms or other functions are implemented. Virtual keyboard (a-la Palm pilot) are good enough to make this capability tick to true.
can_skip_aligned_link_rowtrue/falseMany modern devices (or browser/device combo) let users skip a row of links (for ex: link1|link2|link3|link4) with just one click down. Other devices force users to click multiple times to skip the list of links.
uaprof,uaprof2,uaprof3String (URL)UAProf urls can typically be extracted as a HTTP header. This capability may be useful when this is not possible for some reason.

When the right softkey is pressed, this will be the value returned by the even handler (often a negative number).
j2me_middle_softkey_codeany integer number The number refers to the value which is returned by an event handler method in the j2me APIs, so its an internal number (which is implementation dependant). When the middle softkey is pressed, this will be the value returned by the even handler (often a negative number).
j2me_select_key_codeany integer number The number refers to the value which is returned by an event handler method in the j2me APIs, so its an internal number (which is implementation dependant).
