Hi guys,
we need to generate UUIDs for every single entry we store in the
backend. The UUID is defined in a RFC [1]. There are 3 available UUID
generators [2] I know of :
- standard Java UUID generator[3] (which only support version 3 and 4 -
ie using a hashed URI or a random number - )
- JUG [4] which support all the version but 2
- UUID [5] which only support version 1 (MAC address based)
Here is a short comparison : [6]
The question is to determinate which generator we should use, assuming
the licenses are compatible ?
Wdyt ?
