ksuid
K-Sortable Globally Unique IDs (program)
Description
ksuid is an efficient, comprehensive, battle-tested Go library for generating and parsing a specific kind of globally unique identifier called a *KSUID*. This library serves as its reference implementation. This package comes with a command-line tool ksuid, useful for generating KSUIDs as well as inspecting the internal components of existing KSUIDs. Machine-friendly output is provided for scripting use cases. What is a KSUID? KSUID is for K-Sortable Unique IDentifier. It is a kind of globally unique identifier similar to a RFC 4122 UUID, built from the ground-up to be "naturally" sorted by generation timestamp without any special type-aware logic. In short, running a set of KSUIDs through the UNIX sort command will result in a list ordered by generation time. Why use KSUIDs? There are numerous methods for generating unique identifiers, so why KSUID? 1. Naturally ordered by generation time
2. Collision-free, coordination-free, dependency-free
3. Highly portable representations
