uuidExample
@tmcw
Script
uuid The uuid module provides builders for different types of universally unique identifiers . These are kinds of identifiers that you can use instead of auto-incrementing integers. They're intended to contain so much randomness that the chances of a collision between two uuids is very low. There are different versions of uuids available: typically people use v4 UUIDs, which are fully random.
qsExample
@tmcw
Script
qs QS is a pretty old module that you probably shouldn't use but it's still pretty heavily used. In the very very early days there wasn't a built-in way in JavaScript to parse querystrings. So QS was born. But then, Node.js added a querystring module built-in. Then, JavaScript introduced URLSearchParams , which you should use whenever you want to parse or generate query strings.
