nanoid: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Nanoid is a small, secure, and easy-to-use library for generating unique IDs in JavaScript. It is designed to be fast and reliable for generating random IDs that are highly unlikely to collide. Nanoid is ideal for use cases where you need to create unique identifiers for entities like database records, URLs, or session tokens.
Compared to other ID generation libraries like UUID, Nanoid offers shorter and more URL-friendly IDs without sacrificing uniqueness. Its simplicity and focus on performance make it a popular choice for projects requiring lightweight and efficient ID generation.
