stduuid
A C++17 cross-platform single-header library for generating and manipulating UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers).
What is stduuid?
stduuid is a C++17 library that implements UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) generation and manipulation. It provides a complete solution for creating, parsing, and comparing 128-bit identifiers that are essential for distributed systems, database keys, and object identification. The library follows RFC 4122 and the C++ standard proposal P0959 for UUID handling.
C++ developers working on cross-platform applications that require unique identifier generation, particularly those building distributed systems, databases, or middleware components.
Developers choose stduuid because it's a single-header, dependency-light implementation that's both standards-compliant and practical. It offers multiple UUID generation methods, seamless STL integration, and works consistently across all major platforms without requiring external dependencies.
