# Nano ID <img src="https://ai.github.io/nanoid/logo.svg" align="right" alt="Nano ID logo by Anton Lovchikov" width="180" height="94"> **English** | [Русский](./README.ru.md) | [简体中文](./README.zh-CN.md) | [Bahasa Indonesia](./README.id-ID.md) A tiny, secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator for JavaScript. > “An amazing level of senseless perfectionism, > which is simply impossible not to respect.” * **Small.** 130 bytes (minified and gzipped). No dependencies. [Size Limit] controls the size. * **Fast.** It is 2 times faster than UUID. * **Safe.** It uses hardware random generator. Can be used in clusters. * **Short IDs.** It uses a larger alphabet than UUID (`A-Za-z0-9_-`). So ID size was reduced from 36 to 21 symbols. * **Portable.** Nano ID was ported to [20 programming languages](#other-programming-languages). ```js import { nanoid } from 'nanoid' model.id = nanoid() //=> "V1StGXR8_Z5jdHi6B-myT" ``` Supports modern browsers, IE [with Babel], Node.js and React Native.
