UUIDs.md
  • Version 1 UUIDs are based on a timestamp and a MAC address.
  • Version 2 UUIDs are similar to Version 1, but they include a group and a variant identifier.
  • Version 3 UUIDs are based on a namespace and a name.
  • Version 4 UUIDs are randomly generated.
  • Version 5 UUIDs are similar to Version 3, but they use a SHA-1 hash instead of MD5.
