Hello Clojurians, I've just been polishing my modest library, clj-uuid <http://danlentz.github.io/clj-uuid/> and would like to invite everyone to have a look if such a thing might be of interest.
What is it? clj-uuid is a Clojure library for generation and utilization of UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) as described by RFC-4122. This library extends the standard Java UUID class to provide true v1 (time based) and v3/v5 (namespace based) identifier generation. Additionally, a number of useful supporting utilities are provided to support serialization and manipulation of these UUIDs in a simple, efficient manner. Why is it useful? The JVM UUID class only provides a constructor for random (v4) and (non-namespaced) pseudo-v3 UUID's. Where appropriate, this library does use the internal JVM UUID implementation. The benefit with this library is that clj-uuid provides an easy way to get v1 and true namespaced v3 and v5 UUIDs. v1 UUIDs are really useful because they can be generated faster than v4's as they don't need to call a cryptographic random number generator. v5 UUID's are necessary because many of the interesting things that you can do with UUID's require namespaced identifiers. http://danlentz.github.io/clj-uuid/ http://github.com/danlentz/clj-uuid/ Best, Dan Lentz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
