FAQ
What is the difference between GUID and UUID?
They are essentially the same. GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) is Microsoft's term for UUID. The underlying structure and generation algorithm are identical, both following RFC 4122. GUID is more common in Windows Registry and .NET ecosystems.
What is the registry format?
Registry format is the standard GUID representation in Windows Registry — a 32-character continuous hex string in uppercase, e.g., A1B2C3D4E5F67890ABCDEF1234567890.
Can GUID v4 repeat?
Like UUID v4, GUID v4 is generated from random numbers with an extremely low collision probability (about 1 in 2^122), making it globally unique in practice.
