Core (ananoid)

Core Module

Namespace: pblasucci.Ananoid
Assembly: pblasucci.ananoid.dll

Contains simple functions for generating 'nano identifier' strings (a simple alternative to things like 'Universal Unique Identifiers').

Nested modules

Modules	Description
Alphabets	Pre-defined alphabets commonly used to generate identifiers.
Defaults	Defines the recommended set of characters and output length for optimally generating nano identifier strings.
Tagged	Contains primitives for generating identifiers which are "tagged" with a discriminator (useful for managing lots of string which have different purposes, but where using a full CLR type is undesirable).
