Frequently asked questions

What is a UUID v5?

A version 5 UUID is name-based: it is the SHA-1 hash of a namespace UUID plus a name. The same namespace and name always produce the same UUID, which is useful for deterministic identifiers.

Which namespace should I use?

Use DNS for domain names, URL for URLs, OID for object identifiers and X500 for LDAP DNs. Or paste a custom namespace UUID of your own.

Is it generated privately?

Yes — the UUID is computed entirely in your browser. Your name/namespace is never uploaded.
