Generate deterministic Version 3 UUIDs using MD5 hashing of a namespace and a specific name.

In-Depth Guide

Everything you need to know

A UUID Version 3 is a deterministic identifier created by hashing a namespace identifier and a name using MD5. This means the same input will always produce the same UUID.

Why Use v3?

  • Consistency: Useful when you need to generate the same ID for the same resource across different systems.
  • Mapping: Convert existing string-based IDs (like usernames or URLs) into standard 128-bit UUIDs.
  • Legacy: Used in systems where MD5 hashing is the established standard for ID generation.
