SCRU128: Sortable, Clock and Random number-based Unique identifier

GitHub tag License

SCRU128 ID is yet another attempt to supersede UUID for the users who need decentralized, globally unique time-ordered identifiers. SCRU128 is inspired by ULID and KSUID and has the following features:

import "github.com/scru128/go-scru128/v3"

// generate a new identifier object
x := scru128.New()
fmt.Println(x)    // e.g., "036z951mhjikzik2gsl81gr7l"
fmt.Println(x[:]) // as a 128-bit unsigned integer in big-endian byte array

// generate a textual representation directly
fmt.Println(scru128.NewString()) // e.g., "036z951mhzx67t63mq9xe6q0j"

See SCRU128 Specification for details.
