## Totally Random Identifiers

trid is a GUID library built for speed, size, and anonymity. 

Cryptographically secure random GUIDs can be generated at extremely high speeds and very low memory usage:

```

BenchmarkNew-4                   6769496               174 ns/op              16 B/op          1 allocs/op

BenchmarkToString-4             33261237                36.9 ns/op            32 B/op          1 allocs/op

BenchmarkFromBytes-4            478937239                2.48 ns/op            0 B/op          0 allocs/op

BenchmarkFromString-4           44093491                26.2 ns/op             0 B/op          0 allocs/op

```

GUIDs are 12 bytes in length raw, and 20 characters in length encoded as strings. Base32 encoding is used

so that the non alphanumeric characters of base64 don't cause a problem.

trid was heavily inspired by [xid](https://github.com/rs/xid), much of the code is taken from there. This repository was

necessary for me as I do not want PIDs, timestamps, or machine identifiers in my GUIDs, and I don't care if

my GUIDs are sortable.
