.NET primitive types

Dodo.Primitives

Library provides .NET primitive types:

• Uuid

and utils to work with types:

• Hex

Project goal

The main goal is Uuid implementation according to the RFC4122.

.NET provides System.Guid struct which is special case of the RFC4122 implementation. System.Guid has little-endian layout for the first 8 bytes (int32, int16, int16).

Our goal is to provide Uuid fully compliant with RFC4122 (big-endian layout) and preserve System.Guid-like behaviour. Also project contains generators to create different Uuid variants. Currently supported variants:

• Time-based (like Uuid v1).

    var uuid = Uuid.NewTimeBased();

• Time-based, optimized for MySQL.

    var uuid = Uuid.NewMySqlOptimized();

  Equals UUID_TO_BIN(UUID(), 1) from MySQL 8.0
