Bumps github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit/v7 from 7.8.1 to 7.14.0.

Release notes

Sourced from github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit/v7's releases.

ID Generator

New: ID() — Fast, Human-Readable Random Identifier

(GoFakeIt v7.9.0)

gofakeit.ID() is a new high-performance identifier generator designed for speed, readability, and practically zero collision probability.

Unlike UUID v4 or XID, this generator is intentionally random-first, not structure-based.
Perfect for mock APIs, test data, fixtures, seed data, and temporary identifiers.


Highlights

  • Human readable alphabet, no confusing characters
    23456789abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz (no 1, l, i or 0, o to alleviate confusion)
  • Fast
  • Memory Allocation
  • Generates from your rand source
  • Shorter than UUID, faster than XID, and requires no coordination

Example

id := gofakeit.ID()
fmt.Println(id)
// → "3t9qf4c92npxhw7bg6y0"

Performance Benchmarks

Measured on Go 1.25

Generator / Function Benchmark Name ops/sec ns/op B/op allocs/op
gofakeit.ID() BenchmarkID-10 31,383,146 37.8 ns 24 1
gofakeit.UUIDv4() BenchmarkUUIDv4-10 22,131,577 53.8 ns 48 1
github.com/rs/xid BenchmarkXID-10 16,190,817 74.2 ns 0 0
github.com/google/uuid (v4) BenchmarkGoogleUUIDv4-10 3,098,770 386.1 ns 64 2

Takeaway: gofakeit.ID() is ~2× faster than XID and ~10× faster than UUID v4, while being shorter and human-readable.
