Not (another) unique universal identifier... But, it is. Faster and less prone to collisions than uuid as the scheme is ever changing, yet forever stable.

Not (another) Universal Unique Identifier

Generate a unique identifier with salt entropy if wanted. Based on time, bit shifting, and random character code matching.

It's fast and useful for unique identifiers.

Usage

var uuid = nuu.id('entropy-salt'); // entropy-salt is an optional parameter.

Inclusion

Node.js

$ npm install nuuid
var nuu = require('nuuid');

Browsers

<script src="lib/nuuid.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
