Generate unique, time-ordered identifiers (UIDs).
- Variable length: 16–32 bytes — a 48-bit big-endian timestamp plus cryptographically strong random bytes.
- Lexicographically sortable by creation time when encoded as hex or base32hex.
- Allocation-free
Span<byte>API.
Byte layout
| Bytes | Contents |
|---|---|
0..5 |
48-bit timestamp (big-endian), milliseconds since Unix epoch. |
6..31 |
Cryptographically strong random bytes. |
Usage
using Neliva;
Span<byte> id = stackalloc byte[16];
UidProvider.System.Fill(id);
string hexId = Convert.ToHexString(id);
For long-term, high-assurance identifiers, 26 bytes (48-bit timestamp + 160-bit random) is recommended.
