Generate universally unique identifiers (UUID v4) for databases, sessions, and tracking.
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. UUIDs are standardized by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) and are guaranteed to be unique across all devices and time.
The UUID v4 format we generate is the most commonly used variant, creating random identifiers with an extremely low probability of duplication (1 in 2^122).
Use UUIDs as primary keys in distributed databases to ensure uniqueness.
Generate secure session identifiers for web applications.
Create unique file names to prevent conflicts in file systems.
Generate unique identifiers for orders, transactions, or events.
