🎯 What This Actor Does

Generate universally unique identifiers:

UUID v1 - Time-based (includes MAC address)
UUID v4 - Random (most common, recommended)
UUID v5 - Namespace + Name (deterministic)
Bulk Generation - Up to 100,000 at once
Multiple Formats - Standard, uppercase, no-hyphens, URN

🚀 Use Cases

Use Case	Description
Database IDs	Generate primary keys
API Tokens	Create unique tokens
Session IDs	User session identifiers
File Names	Unique file identifiers
Correlation IDs	Request tracing
Test Data	Generate test identifiers

📥 Input Examples

Generate Random UUIDs (v4)

{
    "count": 100,
    "version": "v4",
    "format": "standard"
}

Deterministic UUIDs (v5)

{
    "version": "v5",
    "namespace": "dns",
    "names": ["example.com", "api.example.com"]
}

Custom Format

{
    "count": 50,
    "version": "v4",
    "format": "no-hyphens"
}
