ksuid is a Go implementation of k-sortable unique identifiers. It provides a system for generating globally unique identifiers that maintain a natural chronological order based on their generation timestamp. The project enables the creation of unique keys across distributed systems without a central coordinator. These identifiers are designed for use as database primary keys to maintain index performance and insert efficiency. The library includes capabilities for identifier serialization and parsing, allowing conversion between binary, text, and SQL formats. It also provides command-line to
This is an RFC 4122 UUID package for Go that generates, parses, and validates universally unique identifiers. It provides a library for creating UUIDs that conform to standard formatting rules, along with utilities for inspecting UUID properties such as variant, version, and nil status. The package supports DCE 1.1 Security Extension UUID generation and parsing, and includes byte-level UUID construction by directly manipulating 16-byte arrays with version and variant bits. It validates UUID strings against RFC 4122 formatting rules, including hyphens and hexadecimal characters, and can detect
