Remarks

A string representation of an ID is usually 38 characters long. Some of these characters are omittable and can be excluded to save space.

An ID identifies an object within the system, but not uniquely. The underlying data of an ID is a Guid.

The ShortID equivalent of the ID "{678E49BA-7D1F-48E2-BE86-35824C641556}" is "678E49BA7D1F48E2BE8635824C641556".

A ShortID is 32 characters long.
