Package com.fasterxml.uuid

Package that contains classes that define Java UUID Generator API.

See: Description

Class Summary

Class	Description
EgressInterfaceFinder	A utility to attempt to find the default egress interface on the current system.
EthernetAddress	EthernetAddress encapsulates the 6-byte MAC address defined in IEEE 802.1 standard.
Generators	Root factory class for constructing UUID generators.
Jug	Simple command-line interface to UUID generation functionality.
NoArgGenerator	Intermediate base class for UUID generators that do not take arguments for individual calls.
StringArgGenerator	Intermediate base class for UUID generators that take one String argument for individual calls.
TimestampSynchronizer	This is the API for utility classes optionally used by UUIDTimer to ensure that timestamp values used for generating time/location-based UUIDs are monotonically increasing, as well as that only one such generator is ever used on a single system, even in presence of multiple JVMs.
UUIDClock	UUIDClock is used by UUIDTimer to get the current time.
UUIDComparator	Default UUID comparator is not very useful, since it just does blind byte-by-byte comparison which does not work well for time+location - based UUIDs.
UUIDGenerator	Minimal "tag" base class from which all generator implementations derive.
UUIDTimer	UUIDTimer produces the time stamps required for time-based UUIDs.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
UUIDType	Enumeration of different flavors of UUIDs: 5 specified by specs (RFC-4122) and one virtual entry ("UNKNOWN") to represent invalid one that consists of all zero bites

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
EgressInterfaceFinder.EgressResolutionException	An exception representing a failure to determine a default egress network interface.

Package com.fasterxml.uuid Description

Package that contains classes that define Java UUID Generator API. Implementation classes can be found from under com.fasterxml.uuid.impl.

The primary API entrypoint is Generators, used to construct actual generators to use for UUID generation.
