# Globally Unique ID Generator
|
|

|

|
|
Package xid is a globally unique id generator library, ready to safely be used directly in your server code.
|
|
|
|
Xid uses the Mongo Object ID algorithm to generate globally unique ids with a different serialization ([base32hex](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4648#page-10)) to make it shorter when transported as a string:
|
|
https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/object-id/
|
|
|
|
- 4-byte value representing the seconds since the Unix epoch,
|
|
- 3-byte machine identifier,
|
|
- 2-byte process id, and
|
|
- 3-byte counter, starting with a random value.
|
|
|
|
The binary representation of the id is compatible with Mongo 12 bytes Object IDs.
|
|
The string representation is using [base32hex](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4648#page-10) (w/o padding) for better space efficiency
|
|
when stored in that form (20 bytes). The hex variant of base32 is used to retain the
|
|
sortable property of the id.
|
|
|
|
Xid doesn't use base64 because case sensitivity and the 2 non alphanum chars may be an
|
|
issue when transported as a string between various systems. Base36 wasn't retained either
|
|
because 1/ it's not standard 2/ the resulting size is not predictable (not bit aligned)
|
|
and 3/ it would not remain sortable. To validate a base32 `xid`, expect a 20 chars long,
|
|
all lowercase sequence of `a` to `v` letters and `0` to `9` numbers (`[0-9a-v]{20}`).
|
|
|
|
UUIDs are 16 bytes (128 bits) and 36 chars as string representation. Twitter Snowflake
|
|
ids are 8 bytes (64 bits) but require machine/data-center configuration and/or central
|
|
generator servers. xid stands in between with 12 bytes (96 bits) and a more compact
|
|
URL-safe string representation (20 chars). No configuration or central generator server
|
|
is required so it can be used directly in server's code.
|
|
|
|
| Name | Binary Size | String Size | Features
|
|
|-------------|-------------|----------------|----------------
|
|
| [UUID] | 16 bytes | 36 chars | configuration free, not sortable
|
|
| [shortuuid] | 16 bytes | 22 chars | configuration free, not sortable
|
|
| [Snowflake] | 8 bytes | up to 20 chars | needs machine/DC configuration, needs central server, sortable
|
|
| [MongoID] | 12 bytes | 24 chars | configuration free, sortable
|
|
| xid | 12 bytes | 20 chars | configuration free, sortable

|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
- Size: 12 bytes (96 bits), smaller than UUID, larger than snowflake
|
|
- Base32 hex encoded by default (20 chars when transported as printable string, still sortable)
|
|
- Non configured, you don't need set a unique machine and/or data center id
|
|
- K-ordered
|
|
- Embedded time with 1 second precision
|
|
- Unicity guaranteed for 16,777,216 (24 bits) unique ids per second and per host/process
|
|
- Lock-free (i.e.: unlike UUIDv1 and v2)
|
|
|
|
Best used with [zerolog](https://github.com/rs/zerolog)'s
|
|
[RequestIDHandler](https://godoc.org/github.com/rs/zerolog/hlog#RequestIDHandler).
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- Xid is dependent on the system time, a monotonic counter and so is not cryptographically secure. If unpredictability of IDs is important, you should not use Xids. It is worth noting that most other UUID-like implementations are also not cryptographically secure. You should use libraries that rely on cryptographically secure sources (like /dev/urandom on unix, crypto/rand in golang), if you want a truly random ID generator.

## Install
|
|
|
|
go get github.com/rs/xid
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
guid := xid.New()

## Benchmark
|
|
|
|
Benchmark against Go [Maxim Bublis](https://github.com/satori)'s [UUID](https://github.com/satori/go.uuid).

BenchmarkUUIDv4-4 1000000 1452 ns/op 64 B/op 2 allocs/op
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: UUIDv1 requires a global lock, hence the performance degradation as we add more CPUs.
