Hey .NET devs! Tired of GUIDs that are impossible to sort or read? Meet ByteAether.Ulid, a blazing-fast library for generating Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifiers (ULIDs) in your .NET projects.
Why Youβll Love ByteAether.Ulid
- Globally Unique & Sortable: No collisions, even in distributed systems. Lexicographically ordered for time-based sorting.
- Human-Readable: Base32 encoding makes IDs easy to interpret (no more cryptic GUIDs!).
- Error-Free: Gracefully handles edge cases like random-part overflowβno more crashes!
- Lightning-Fast: Outperforms competitors like NetUlid, NUlid, and Cysharpβs Ulid in benchmarks.
Key Features
- Seamless .NET Integration: Works with .NET Standard 2.0 to .NET 9.0, ASP.NET Core routes, and System.Text.Json.
- Versatile Conversions: Convert ULIDs to/from byte arrays, GUIDs, or strings effortlessly.
- Open Source & MIT Licensed: Contribute, report bugs, or suggest features on GitHub!
Quick Start
Install via NuGet:
dotnet add package ByteAether.Ulid
Generate a ULID in seconds:
using ByteAether.Ulid;
var ulid = Ulid.New();
Console.WriteLine(ulid.ToString()); // Output: "01JJSNJ59NFZDV9MZRV3BMBM9W"
Performance Wins
ByteAether.Ulid is the fastest and most compliant ULID library for .NET:
Library | Speed | Compliance | Error Handling |
