A Go implementation of the Hashids algorithm, which encodes integers into short, unique, obfuscated string hashes with a configurable salt and minimum length. It also ships a small CLI tool for generating hashids from the command line.

Use cases

  • obfuscate database ids in urls
  • generate short unique ids from integers
  • encode integer arrays into reversible hash strings
  • hide sequential record numbers from users
  • decode hashids back to original integers
  • generate hashids from the command line

When to choose

  • you need reversible, salted obfuscation of integer ids in a Go project
  • you want compatibility with the standard Hashids spec across languages
  • you need short non-sequential identifiers for public-facing urls

When to avoid

  • you need cryptographically secure encryption rather than obfuscation
  • you need non-integer identifiers like uuids
  • you need a maintained solution with frequent updates
