FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a UUID v4?

A UUID v4 is a randomly generated 128-bit identifier commonly used as a unique key in software systems.

Is a UUID the same as a GUID?

GUID is Microsoft’s common name for the same type of identifier. In most web and database workflows, UUID and GUID refer to equivalent values.

Can two UUIDs be identical?

A collision is theoretically possible but extremely unlikely when UUID v4 values are generated correctly.

Should UUIDs be uppercase or lowercase?

Both forms are normally accepted. Lowercase with hyphens is the most common representation in APIs and databases.

Are my inputs sent to a server?
