Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UUID?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. They are standardized by RFC 4122 and other standards organizations.

What's the difference between v4 and v1?

UUID v4 is completely random, making it ideal for most applications. UUID v1 is based on timestamp and hardware address, useful when you need time-ordered unique identifiers.

Are UUIDs guaranteed unique?

While not mathematically guaranteed, the probability of a UUID collision is extremely low. For v4 UUIDs, the probability is about 1 in 2¹²⁸, making them practically unique for most applications.
