Identification

Software identification involves assigning unique identifiers to software entities, such as applications, modules, functions, or components. These identifiers are crucial for tracking, managing, and referencing software elements throughout their lifecycle. Here's an introduction to the identification of software.

UUID Version 1

------------

A Version 1 UUID is a universally unique identifier that is generated using a timestamp and the MAC address of the computer on which it was generated.

UUID Version 4

------------

A Version 4 UUID is a universally unique identifier that is generated using random numbers. The Version 4 UUIDs produced by this site were generated using a secure random number generator.

ULID

------------

ULID, which stands for "Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier," is a type of identifier that is designed to be both unique and sortable.

UUID Version 3

------------

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) version 3 is one of the different versions of UUIDs, which are standardized 128-bit identifiers defined by RFC 4122.

UUID Version 5

------------

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) version 5 is another variant of UUID, defined in RFC 4122. Version 5 uses a namespace identifier (UUID) and an input name (string) to generate a unique identifier.

Snowflake ID

------------

A tiny module to generate time based 64-bit unique id, inspired by Twitter id (snowflake).
