What is UUID?

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier that is practically guaranteed to be unique. UUIDs are commonly used in software development for database IDs, session tokens, and any application requiring unique identifiers.

UUID Format

A UUID consists of 32 hexadecimal digits, displayed in 5 groups separated by hyphens:

  • 8 digits - 4 digits - 4 digits - 4 digits - 12 digits
  • Example: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

UUID Versions

  • UUID v1: Based on timestamp and MAC address
  • UUID v4: Randomly generated (most common)
  • UUID v5: Name-based using SHA-1

UUID v4 Details

UUID v4 is generated using random or pseudo-random numbers. The format includes specific bits set to indicate version 4:

  • Version: 4 (bits 12-15 of byte 6)
  • Variant: RFC 4122 (bits 16-18 of byte 8)
  • Total combinations: 2^122 (approximately 3.4 × 10^38)

Common Uses

  • Database primary keys
  • Session identifiers
  • Distributed system IDs
  • Transaction IDs
  • API keys and tokens
