How to use UUIDs
v4 uses secure randomness. v1, v6 and v7 carry a time value; v3 and v5 derive a stable identifier from a namespace and exact name. UUIDs identify values but do not grant access.
Frequently asked questions
Does a UUID prove when something was created?
No. v1, v6 and v7 encode a timestamp supplied by their creator, which may differ from actual creation time.
Why do v3 and v5 give one result?
They always return the same UUID for the exact name and namespace. Name case, whitespace and Unicode form matter.
Is anything uploaded?
Generation and inspection run in your browser. This page does not send UUIDs, names or timestamps to WebhookKit.
