Acerca de Generador de UUID
Generate UUID v1, v4, and v7
The version controls properties such as randomness, time ordering, and information exposure. Choose based on how identifiers are stored and compared rather than assuming every UUID version has the same database or privacy behavior.
Cómo usar esta herramienta de desarrollo
- Choose the UUID version and quantity.
- Generate the identifiers and check their format before using them in a fixture or request.
- Record the version and any ordering assumptions with the code that consumes the identifiers.
Privacidad y tratamiento de datos
UUID generation is local and does not require input data. Version 1 can expose time and node-related information, so use a version whose disclosure and ordering characteristics fit the application.

Preguntas frecuentes
When should I use UUID v4?
UUID v4 is a common default for random identifiers when you do not need creation-time ordering and do not want the identifier to expose time-related information.
Why use UUID v7?
UUID v7 includes a time component and is designed to sort by creation time while retaining a random component, which can help some database and event workloads.
Does a UUID guarantee uniqueness?
It makes collisions unlikely within its intended space, but an application still needs proper constraints and a clear policy for retries and imports.
