hexoid
A tiny (190B) and extremely fast utility to generate random hexadecimal IDs of fixed length.
What is hexoid?
Hexoid is a lightweight JavaScript utility that generates random hexadecimal IDs of a fixed length. It solves the need for fast, predictable, and compact unique identifiers in non-cryptographic scenarios, such as generating session IDs, temporary keys, or object references. The library emphasizes performance and minimal bundle size over cryptographic security.
Developers building web applications, Node.js services, or tools that require high-performance unique ID generation without cryptographic guarantees. It's particularly useful for those optimizing bundle size or speed in performance-sensitive environments.
Developers choose Hexoid for its exceptional speed—benchmarks show it's up to 20x faster than alternatives—and its tiny 190-byte footprint. It offers a simple, focused API for generating fixed-length hexadecimal IDs, making it ideal when security isn't a concern but performance and size are critical.
