uuid-rs 0.5.0

UUID

A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems. The term globally unique identifier (GUID) is also used.

This crate generates and inspects UUIDs based on

• RFC 4122
• DCE 1.1

Install

[dependencies]
uuid-rs = { version = "0.5.0", features = ["random"] }

Usage

use uuid_rs::uuid_v4;

println!("{}", uuid_v4!())

Security

Do not assume that UUIDs are hard to guess; they should not be used as security capabilities.
