// Package xid is a globally unique id generator suited for web scale
//
// Xid is using Mongo Object ID algorithm to generate globally unique ids:
// https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/object-id/
//
//   - 4-byte value representing the seconds since the Unix epoch,
//   - 3-byte machine identifier,
//   - 2-byte process id, and
//   - 3-byte counter, starting with a random value.
//
// The binary representation of the id is compatible with Mongo 12 bytes Object IDs.
// The string representation is using URL safe base64 for better space efficiency when
// stored in that form (16 bytes).
//
// UUID is 16 bytes (128 bits), snowflake is 8 bytes (64 bits), xid stands in between
// with 12 bytes with a more compact string representation ready for the web and no
// required configuration or central generation server.
//
// Features:
//
//   - Size: 12 bytes (96 bits), smaller than UUID, larger than snowflake
//   - Base64 URL safe encoded by default (16 bytes storage when transported as printable string)
//   - Non configured, you don't need set a unique machine and/or data center id
//   - K-ordered
//   - Embedded time with 1 second precision
//   - Unicity guaranted for 16,777,216 (24 bits) unique ids per second and per host/process
//
// Best used with xlog's RequestIDHandler (https://godoc.org/github.com/rs/xlog#RequestIDHandler).
