Uuid Generator
UUID is a universally unique identifier (UUID) generated by using different algorithms.
UUID3 generated by hashing a namespace identifier and a name using the MD5 algorithm. It is a deterministic UUID, which means the same namespace and name will always produce the exact same UUID.
UUID5 is also similiar to UUID3.
UUID4 and UUID7 are random.
UUID1 and UUID6 are time stamp based. If you want ordered UUID’s use this.
We might want to to use one of the UUID for different requirements, sometimes when doing db inserts and cache inserts, we might want to generate the UUID’s in the same namespace.
I have put a small ui tool (uses uuid npm package), for arduino and other tools, we might have to generate uuid3 and uuid1 for sequencing data. This is one of the most common tools that I use of a every day basis.
