This repository is an experiment for me to create a "shorter" ulid.
Why I want this:
- I want some of the features of ULID
- Lexicographically Sortable Identifier
- ULID is long at 26 characters
- I want something shorter, say 9 characters
- To be used as "order ids"
- I don't need millisecond support
- I don't need as much entropy as ULID
- I don't need support till 10889 AD
Do not use this if you need a lot of entropy.
| ULID | shortulid | |
|---|---|---|
| Characters | 26 | 9 |
| Characters reserved for time | 10 | 6 |
| Characters reserved for entropy | 16 | 3 |
| Support till Year | 10889 | 2054 |
| Bits of entropy | 80 | 15 |
| Precision | millisecond | second |
