Invalid UUID Format – Check UUID Syntax Online
Explain the UUID validator's canonical format check with a real invalid input.

UUID Troubleshooting
Check UUID text format, versions, RFC variants, nil values, wrappers, whitespace, punctuation, and version-specific validation failures.
Diagnostic workflow
How to troubleshoot UUID problems
UUID validation should begin with the text itself before you inspect version or variant bits. Remove serialization wrappers and unrelated punctuation, confirm the canonical hexadecimal layout, and only then decide whether the UUID version and RFC variant are allowed by the system receiving it.
- Validate the canonical 8-4-4-4-12 hexadecimal layout after trimming whitespace, while keeping quotes, braces, commas, and URN prefixes visible as separate issues.
- Once the shape is valid, inspect the version nibble and RFC variant bits instead of assuming every 36-character hexadecimal string is acceptable.
- Handle nil UUIDs and newer versions such as v6, v7, or v8 according to the destination contract rather than rejecting or accepting them solely by appearance.
