|
||
|
||
A tiny, secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator for JavaScript.
|
||
|

> “An amazing level of senseless perfectionism,
|
||

|
||
|
||
* **Small.** 130 bytes (minified and gzipped). No dependencies.
|
||
[Size Limit] controls the size.
|
||
* **Fast.** It is 2 times faster than UUID.
|
||
* **Safe.** It uses hardware random generator. Can be used in clusters.
|
||
* **Short IDs.** It uses a larger alphabet than UUID (`A-Za-z0-9_-`).
|
||
So ID size was reduced from 36 to 21 symbols.
|
||
* **Portable.** Nano ID was ported
|
||
to [20 programming languages](#other-programming-languages).
