								A tiny, secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator for JavaScript.

								* **Small.** 108 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 [19 programming languages](#other-programming-languages).
