Understanding UUID Standards & Versions
UUID v4 — Random
Cryptographically secure pseudorandom values (122 random bits). Zero correlation to generation time or machine MAC address. Perfect for API keys, tokens, and general unique IDs.
UUID v7 — Time-Ordered
RFC 9562 modern standard. Combines a 48-bit millisecond Unix timestamp with cryptographically random bits. Eliminates database B-Tree index fragmentation and enables natural time sorting.
UUID v1 — Gregorian Time
Legacy RFC 4122 standard based on 100-nanosecond intervals since October 15, 1582, clock sequence, and node ID. Useful for legacy database compatibility and enterprise systems.
Nil & Max UUID
Special sentinel values defined in RFC 4122. Nil consists of all 128 zero bits (used for uninitialized fields or null references); Max consists of all 128 one bits (0xFF).
