The JVM UUID class only provides a constructor for random (v4) and (non-namespaced) pseudo-v3 UUID's. Where appropriate, this library does use the internal JVM UUID implementation. The benefit with this library is that clj-uuid provides an easy way to get v1 and true namespaced v3 and v5 UUIDs. v1 UUIDs are really useful because they can be generated faster than v4's as they don't need to call a cryptographic random number generator. v5 UUID's are necessary because many of the interesting things that you can do with UUID's require namespaced identifiers.
