UUID v4 Standard

  • UUID version 4 identifiers are based on random number generation.
  • They have a very low probability of collision (duplicate generation).
  • The UUID format is defined by RFC 4122.
  • A UUID is a 128-bit value, typically represented as a hexadecimal string:

xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx where x is any hexadecimal digit, and y is one of 8, 9, A, or B.

About

UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) are 128-bit identifiers. Version 4 UUIDs are randomly generated using a cryptographically secure random number generator. Use for database primary keys, session tokens, or test data.
