The UUID Nil (or UUID version "Nil") is a special type of UUID that contains only zero values. It’s often used as a placeholder or to indicate the absence of a value in systems where a UUID is required, but no specific unique identifier is needed.
What is a UUID Nil?
A UUID Nil is a universally unique identifier where all bits are set to zero, resulting in the following value:
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
This UUID is not unique and serves as a "null" or "empty" UUID. It's useful for testing, initializing values, or indicating a default state when a UUID hasn't been generated yet.
