parse
Parses a uuid from the standard string representation as described in Uuid.toString.
This function is case-insensitive, and for a valid uuidString, the following property holds:
val uuid = Uuid.parse(uuidString)
assertEquals(uuid.toString(), uuidString.lowercase())
The standard textual representation of uuids is specified by RFC 9562 section 4.
import kotlin.uuid.*
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val uuid = Uuid.parse("550E8400-e29b-41d4-A716-446655440000") // case insensitive
println(uuid) // 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
//sampleEnd
}Parameters
uuidString - A string in the format "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
where each 'x' is a hexadecimal digit, either lowercase or uppercase.
Exceptions
IllegalArgumentException - If the uuidString is not a 36-character string
in the standard uuid format.
Return A uuid equivalent to the specified uuid string.
