About UUID Generator
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. UUIDs are widely used in databases, APIs, and distributed systems to ensure unique identification without central coordination.
UUID v1
Based on timestamp and MAC address. Provides temporal ordering but may reveal system information.
UUID v4
Randomly generated. Most commonly used version with excellent uniqueness and no information leakage.
UUID v7
Timestamp-based with random component. Provides temporal ordering while maintaining randomness.
Common Use Cases:
- Database primary keys and foreign keys
- API request and session identifiers
- File and document unique naming
- Distributed system coordination
- Transaction and event tracking
