Generate, copy, and manage UUIDs for your projects
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. The UUID standard defines several versions with different generation methods:
Version 1: Time-based UUID using MAC address and timestamp
Version 3: Name-based UUID using MD5 hashing
Version 4: Randomly generated UUID (most common)
Version 5: Name-based UUID using SHA-1 hashing
UUIDs are useful for generating unique identifiers without a central authority, making them ideal for distributed systems.
