Not all strings that look like UUIDs are valid. This validator checks whether a UUID conforms to the RFC 4122 standard format, detects the version (1 through 5), and identifies the variant. Useful for debugging, data validation, and API testing.

Everything runs in your browser with no data sent to any server.
