node-uuid is a JavaScript library for generating and validating universally unique identifiers that comply with the RFC 4122 standard. It provides a utility for creating random, timestamp-based, or namespace-based identifiers within a Node.js environment.
The library includes tools for detecting the specific standard version of a provided identifier and transforming identifiers between different versions. It also provides a command line utility for generating identifiers directly from the terminal.
The project covers binary manipulation, including parsing strings into byte arrays and stringifying byte arrays back into readable formats. It also includes capabilities for format validation to verify if a given string conforms to the required structural standards.
