Common questions

What is a UUID?

A universally unique identifier is a 128-bit value, written like 123e4567-e89b-42d3-a456-426614174000, used to label records without a central counter.

What is the difference between v4 and v7?

v4 is fully random. v7 starts with a timestamp, so UUIDs sort by time, which is better for database indexes.

Are these UUIDs really unique?

They come from your browser's secure random number generator. The chance of a repeat is far too small to matter.

Is a UUID the same as a GUID?

Yes. GUID is the name Microsoft uses for the same thing.
