UUID is a widely-used JavaScript library for generating universally unique identifiers (UUIDs). It provides functions to create RFC-compliant UUIDs in various versions, including UUID v1, v3, v4, and v5. UUIDs generated by this library are unique across time and space, making them suitable for use cases like generating unique keys, session IDs, and tracking objects.

Compared to manual UUID generation, the UUID package offers a convenient and reliable way to create unique identifiers. It is actively maintained, lightweight, and easy to integrate into JavaScript projects, making it a popular choice for developers working with distributed systems and databases.
