Bulk v4 UUIDs in CSV / SQL / JSON formats, for seeding an import or a fixture.
The everyday operating tools of a one-to-five-person business: shrink a product photo for the marketplace, generate a QR code for the storefront, check the exchange rate before quoting a customer, generate UUIDs for an import, summarize a competitor blog post, count the words on a product description. Cheap, fast, and your inventory photos never leave your device.
A random 128-bit identifier with the version and variant bits set aside, which leaves enough randomness that collisions are not a practical concern. It carries no meaning and no order.
Usually not. Staff read order numbers aloud and customers quote them back, so a short sequential number with a prefix works better there. Keep UUIDs for internal keys, imports and fixtures.
Yes - generate in bulk and copy the result as CSV, SQL or JSON, which is what you want when seeding a test database or pre-allocating keys for an import.
