UUIs
Universal Unique Identifiers, commonly abbreviated as UUIDs, are 128-bit numbers used in computer systems to uniquely identify information. The primary purpose of a UUID is to ensure that any given identifier is unique across all possible systems and at any given time, without requiring a central coordinating authority. This means that two independently generated UUIDs are extremely unlikely to be the same.
UUIDs are often represented as a 32-character hexadecimal string, divided into five groups separated by hyphens,
The widespread adoption of UUIDs stems from their ability to prevent collisions in distributed systems, databases,
