🚀 What is UUIDv47?
UUIDv47 is a revolutionary approach to UUID management that allows you to reversibly transform UUIDs between v7 (time-ordered) and v4 (random-appearing) formats. This enables you to:
<ul>
<li>🔒 Hide time-ordering from external APIs while maintaining internal chronological benefits</li>
<li>🎭 Present v4 facades to clients while storing efficient v7 UUIDs internally</li>
<li>🔐 Cryptographically secure transformations using SipHash-2-4 algorithm</li>
<li>⚡ High performance with &gt;10,000 operations per second</li>
<li>🔄 Perfect reversibility - no data loss in transformations</li>
<li>📦 Tiny footprint - only 1.68KB gzipped with zero dependencies</li>
</ul>

UUIDv47 is a library that enables reversible transformation between UUIDv7 (time-ordered) and UUIDv4 (random-appearing) formats. It allows developers to hide time-ordering from external APIs while maintaining internal chronological benefits, using cryptographically secure SipHash-2-4 algorithm with high performance and zero dependencies.

A “Quantum UUID transformation”?

Sorry but why would you hide the timestamp?

UUID47… for everyone,
