# uuid [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hashicorp/go-uuid.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/hashicorp/go-uuid) Generates UUID-format strings using high quality, _purely random_ bytes. It is **not** intended to be RFC compliant, merely to use a well-understood string representation of a 128-bit value. It can also parse UUID-format strings into their component bytes. Documentation ============= The full documentation is available on [Godoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-uuid).
