What is a UUID?
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit value used to uniquely identify objects or records across systems. UUIDs are commonly used in software development, databases, APIs, and distributed systems where uniqueness is critical.
UUID Versions
- UUID v1: Timestamp + MAC address based
- UUID v3: Name-based using MD5 hash
- UUID v4: Randomly generated
- UUID v5: Name-based using SHA-1 hash
