Globally unique identifiers
Why use UUID v4?
UUIDs let independent services create identifiers without coordinating with a central sequence. Version 4 uses random data, making it practical for database keys, API resources, fixtures, and distributed applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UUID? +
A UUID is a 128-bit identifier designed to be globally unique without a central issuing authority.
Are these UUIDs secure? +
They use cryptographically secure random bytes and set the required UUID v4 version and variant bits.
Can two UUIDs collide? +
A collision is theoretically possible but extraordinarily unlikely for correctly generated UUID v4 values.
Should UUIDs include hyphens? +
Hyphens are the conventional representation. Compact values contain the same 128 bits but may not be accepted by every validator.
