Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UUID?

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier that is unique across all devices and time. Also known as GUID (Globally Unique Identifier).

Are these UUIDs truly unique?

Yes, UUID v4 uses random values with 122 random bits, making collisions virtually impossible (about 1 in 5.3 x 10^36).

What's the difference between UUID versions?

UUID v1 is time-based, v4 is random (most common), and v5 is namespace-based. We generate v4 UUIDs which are the most widely used.

Can I use these UUIDs in my database?

Absolutely! These UUIDs are perfect for database primary keys, API identifiers, session tokens, and more.
