Description: K-Sortable Globally Unique IDs (program)
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
