Generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) in v1 and v4 formats. Perfect for databases, APIs, and distributed systems.
51a98735-c02a-4bb0-9015-4642675fdeb8 UUIDs are essential for modern distributed systems and applications.
UUIDs are essential for distributed systems, databases, and applications that need globally unique identifiers without coordination.
UUIDs provide better privacy than sequential IDs and are harder to guess, making them ideal for public-facing identifiers.
UUID v1 includes timestamp and MAC address information, while UUID v4 is purely random. v4 is more commonly used due to privacy concerns with v1.
While not mathematically guaranteed, UUIDs have an astronomically low probability of collision. For practical purposes, they can be considered unique.
Use UUIDs when you need globally unique identifiers, especially in distributed systems, APIs, or when you want to avoid sequential ID enumeration.
Yes! These UUIDs are generated using standard algorithms and are suitable for production use. However, for critical applications, consider using a dedicated UUID library.
