As a result, it is not possible to guess either the previous or next identifier. That's great, but, to achieve this level of security, a UUID is long (128 bits long) and looks ugly (36 alphanumeric characters including four hyphens which are added to make it easier to read the UUID), as in this example: 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000 . Such a format is: difficult to read (especially if it is part of a URL) difficult to remember cannot be copied with just two mouse-clicks (you have to select manually the start and end positions) can easily become broken across lines when it is copied, pasted, edited, or sent. Our FriendlyID Java library solves these problems by converting a given UUID using Base62 with alphanumeric characters in the range [0-9A-Za-z] into a FriendlyId which consists of a maximum of 22 characters (but in ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/SkillPanel","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/SkillPanel/friendly-id/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
