UUID47-rs — A Rust implementation of UUIDv47

A simple and lightweight library for converting between UUIDv7 and UUIDv4 facade.
This is a Rust implementation of UUIDv47

uuidv47 lets you store sortable UUIDv7 in your database while emitting a UUIDv4‑looking façade at your API boundary. It XOR‑masks only the UUIDv7 timestamp field with a keyed SipHash‑2‑4 stream derived from the UUID’s own random bits. The mapping is deterministic and exactly invertible.¹

Features

• 🛡 Safe: Implemented all APIs in safe Rust.
• 🔰 Easy: Provides simple object-oriented API.
• 🚀 Fast: Designed to eliminate overhead and run at high performance.
• 📦 Lightweight Zero dependencies.

Installation

Usage

use uuid47::*;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
  let s = "00000000-0000-7000-8000-000000000000";  // your UUIDv7 string
  let key = UuidV47Key::new(0x0123456789abcdef, 0xfedcba9876543210);  // your 128-bit key

  // Parse str to UUIDv7
  // error if provided string is invalid
  let v7: Uuid128 = s.parse()?;
  println!("v7(DB)  : {}", v7);

  // Encode UUIDv7 to UUIDv4 facade
  let facade = v7.encode_as_v4facade(&key);
  println!("v4(API) : {}", facade);

  // Decode UUIDv4 facade to UUIDv7
  let back = facade.decode_from_v4facade(&key);
  println!("back    : {}", back);

  Ok(())
}
