Which UUID package do you use? and why?

• uuid

  18 5,006 7.1 Go

  Go package for UUIDs based on RFC 4122 and DCE 1.1: Authentication and Security Services. (by google)

  

Depends on your needs I think, I generally just use github.com/google/uuid like /u/wowsux mentioned it supports v1 through v5 of the UUID spec.

• uuid

  7 1,500 4.3 Go

  A UUID package originally forked from github.com/satori/go.uuid (by gofrs)

  

You could also look at github.com/gofrs/uuid which includes support for v6 and v7 from the latest draft UUID spec. Personally I think the API for this library is nicer since the google one makes it difficult to tell what kind of UUID you are generating.
