It supports generation of UUID7 identifiers that embed Unix timestamps in milliseconds for improved ordering properties compared to earlier standards. . Features include the ability to extract timestamps from generated UUIDs, obtain UTC or timezone-aware representations as datetime objects, and generate UUIDs with monotonically increasing counters within the same millisecond. Random data ensures uniqueness, and all format details conform to the UUID7 specification. . Common applications include use in database records, streaming data, or any scenario where ordering by time or extracting time information from an identifier is useful. No external services or network endpoints are contacted; all UUID generation and time extraction are handled locally.
