./devel/p5-Data-ULID, Perl 5 module for Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier ULID

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.3, Package name: p5-Data-ULID-1.3, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

This is an implementation in Perl of the ULID identifier type
introduced by Alizain Feerasta. The original implementation (in
Javascript) can be found at https://github.com/alizain/ulid.

ULIDs have several advantages over UUIDs in many contexts. The
advantages include:

- Lexicographically sortable
- The canonical representation is shorter than UUID (26 vs 36
characters)
- Case insensitve and safely chunkable.
- URL-safe
- Timestamp can always be easily extracted if so desired.
- Limited compatibility with UUIDs, since both are 128-bit formats.
Some conversion back and forth is possible.
