ballerina/uuid0.10.0-beta.1
Overview
This module provides APIs to generate and inspect UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifier).
The UUIDs are generated based on the RFC 4122 standard. UUID module supports generating 4 versions of UUIDs.
Version 1
Generated using the MAC address of the computer and the time of generation.
Version 3
Cryptographic hashing and application-provided text strings are used to generate a UUID. MD5 hashing is used.
Version 4
Uses a pseudo-random number generator to generate the UUID. Every bit of the string is randomly generated.
Version 5
Similar to Version 3 but uses SHA-1 instead of MD5.
Other operations include validating a given UUID string and getting the version of a UUID string.
For information on the operations, which you can perform with the uuid module, see the below Functions.
