Crate

uuid

UUID generation and parsing for Rust.

What it is

The uuid crate generates and parses Universally Unique Identifiers in v1, v3, v4, v5, v7, and v8 variants. It integrates with serde for JSON serialization and supports formatting as hyphenated, simple, URN, or braced strings.

Why it is commonly used

Used in databases, APIs, and distributed systems where unique identifiers are required — primary keys, request IDs, session tokens, and resource identifiers.
