Calculates a UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier) for each incoming feature, and adds it as a new attribute. The UUID is expressed as a string consisting of 8 hexadecimal digits, each followed by a hyphen, then three groups of 4 hexadecimal digits, each followed by a hyphen, then 12 hexadecimal digits. It is 36 bytes in size. UUIDs look like:
7672aac8-fa0b-464c-b0b8-3efa9ae9cd86
This transformer is similar to the GOIDGenerator, which generates a unique ID for each feature partially based on that feature's geometry.
Parameters
