ulidj

MIT licensed Maven Central javadoc Build Status

ULID (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier) generator and parser for Java. Refer ulid/spec for a more detailed ULID specification.

Features

  • Generates ULID to String (Crockford's base32) or byte[] (128-bit UUID compatible) objects
  • Parses ULID from String (Crockford's base32) or byte[] (128-bit UUID compatible) objects
  • Fast and simple static methods
  • Includes ULID monotonic generator
  • Zero runtime dependencies

  <artifactId>ulidj</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.4</version>
</dependency>

Usage

ULID generation examples:

String ulid1 = ULID.random();
String ulid2 = ULID.random(ThreadLocalRandom.current());
String ulid3 = ULID.random(SecureRandom.newInstance("SHA1PRNG"));
byte[] entropy = new byte[] { 0x0, 0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4, 0x5, 0x6, 0x7, 0x8, 0x9 };
String ulid4 = ULID.generate(System.currentTimeMillis(), entropy); // Generate ULID in string representation
byte[] ulid5 = ULID.generateBinary(System.currentTimeMillis(), entropy); // Generate ULID in binary representation

ULID parsing examples:

// ULID string parsing
String ulid = "003JZ9J6G80123456789abcdef";
assert ULID.isValid(ulid);
long ts = ULID.getTimestamp(ulid);
assert ts == 123456789000L;
byte[] entropy = ULID.getEntropy(ulid);

// ULID binary parsing
byte[] ulidBinary =  new byte[] { //
    // Timestamp part
    (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x33, (byte) 0x7C, (byte) 0x0D, (byte) 0xEF, (byte) 0x00, //
    // Entropy part
    (byte) 0x10, (byte) 0x20, (byte) 0x30, (byte) 0x40, (byte) 0x50, (byte) 0x60, (byte) 0x70, (byte) 0x80, (byte) 0x90, (byte) 0x10 //
};
assert ULID.isValidBinary(ulidBinary);
long ts = ULID.getTimestampBinary(ulidBinary);
assert ts == 1320636247808L;
byte[] entropy = ULID.getEntropyBinary(ulidBinary);

Monotonic ULID generation example:

MonotonicULID ulid = new MonotonicULID();
String ulidString = ulid.generate(); // Generate ULID in string representation
byte[] ulidBinary = ulid.generateBinary(); // Generate ULID in binary representation
