# shortuuid

This library uses [base58 encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base58) to shorten the string representation of [Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122) values making them smaller when stored in a document database such as DynamoDB.

This library provides a reduction of ~39% in storage of the string representation of these values.
