public class Guid
extends java.lang.Object

A GUID is a 128-bit integer (16 bytes) that can be used across all computers and networks wherever a unique identifier is required. Such an identifier has a very low probability of being duplicated.

The entire GUID can optionally be enclosed in matching braces or parentheses: dddddddd-dddd-dddd-dddd-dddddddddddd -or- {dddddddd-dddd-dddd-dddd-dddddddddddd} -or- (dddddddd-dddd-dddd-dddd-dddddddddddd)
