UUID generator
Builds v4, v1, v5, and NIL in this browser. The values stay on the device.
Type a name to get a v5.
Why this exists
Test data should not require opening a console just to mint an id.
The same name always gives the same v5. DNS and www.example.com give 2ed6657d-e927-568b-95e1-2665a8aea6a2.

01How to use it
Pick a version and a count. The list appears at once. v5 also needs a namespace and a name.
Press a row to copy that id. Copy all joins them with line breaks.
-
02What you get
Several v4 values come out as lowercase groups of 8-4-4-4-12.
NIL is the single value 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
Enteredwww.example.com
v5 DNS 2ed6657d-e927-568b-95e1-2665a8aea6a2 NIL 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -
03Worth knowing
A v4 uses 122 random bits. Ordinary test data does not collide.
A v1 mixes the time with a device-side random node, so the order of creation is roughly visible.
Questions
- QWhich version should I use?
- AMost ids are v4. Use v5 when the same name must keep the same value, and NIL for an empty slot.
- QCan I make more than 200?
- AOne pass stops at 200. Press make again for another set.
- QDoes the name leave this device?
- ANo. A v5 name is hashed in this browser and is not uploaded.
