FAQ
What is the difference between UUID v4 and nanoid?
UUID v4 is a standard 128-bit identifier, while nanoid is a shorter, URL-friendly ID. Both are designed to be cryptographically plausible and suitable for generating unique identifiers.
How can I get cryptographically secure UUIDs without trusting a sketchy website?
Harnests provides cryptographically-plausible random IDs, ensuring they are suitable for security-sensitive applications without relying on unknown online generators. You receive a bare list of IDs directly.
When should I use UUID v4, nanoid, or short-id?
Use UUID v4 for standard 128-bit unique identifiers, nanoid for shorter, URL-safe IDs, and short-id for even more compact, custom-length identifiers. The choice depends on your specific length and character set requirements for your project.
How many IDs can I generate at once?
You specify the exact count of IDs you need as an input. Harnests delivers a clean list of your chosen ID type, one per line, ready for immediate use in your development workflow.
