Question 1

What is a UUID?

Accepted Answer

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier that is practically guaranteed to be unique across all systems. UUID v4 uses random numbers, making collisions extremely unlikely.

Question 2

Are these UUIDs truly random?

Accepted Answer

Yes — they use your browser's crypto.randomUUID() or crypto.getRandomValues() APIs, which provide cryptographically secure random numbers.

Question 3

What format options are available?

Accepted Answer

You can generate UUIDs in lowercase or uppercase, and with or without hyphens. Standard format is lowercase with hyphens: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.
