What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A pure Go library implementing Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) per RFC-9562, supporting creation and parsing of UUID versions 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. It is a maintained community fork of the abandoned satori/go.uuid package.
Use cases
- generate random UUIDs (v4) for database primary keys
- create k-sortable time-based UUIDs (v6/v7) for ordered identifiers
- parse UUID strings in various formats
- generate name-based UUIDs from MD5 or SHA-1 hashing
- replace the unmaintained satori/go.uuid package
- define custom UUID variants with version 8
When to choose
- you need a well-maintained, pure-Go UUID implementation with no dependencies
- you want RFC-9562 compliant UUIDs including sortable v6/v7 variants
- you are migrating from satori/go.uuid
When to avoid
- you need UUIDs in a language other than Go
- you only need simple random IDs and prefer the standard library's crypto/rand directly
- you need ULIDs or other non-UUID identifier schemes
