What is a UUID?
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier that is unique across both space and time. UUIDs are commonly used in software development for database keys, session identifiers, and distributed systems.
Our generator creates Version 4 UUIDs, which are randomly generated and have extremely low probability of duplication.
UUID Format
UUIDs are typically displayed as 32 hexadecimal digits, displayed in five groups separated by hyphens:
• The first group has 8 digits
• The second and third groups have 4 digits each
• The fourth group has 4 digits
• The fifth group has 12 digits
• Version 4 UUIDs have '4' in the version position
Common Use Cases
Database Primary Keys
Use UUIDs as primary keys in distributed databases to avoid conflicts during replication.
API Request IDs
Track API requests and responses with unique identifiers for debugging and logging.
Session Management
Generate unique session tokens for user authentication and session tracking.
File and Resource Naming
Create unique names for uploaded files, temporary resources, and cache keys.
