Usage

uuid_string = '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000' # A valid UUID in string format
uuid_short  = '_oGOAbD9fsFFEHWSMal1v'                # Same UUID in its short format

Youyouaidi::UUID.valid? uuid_string # => true

uuid = UUID uuid_string   # creates new Youyouaidi::UUID object, patches Youyouaidi::UUID.parse uuid_string into kernel.
# => #<Youyouaidi::UUID:0x0000010150bb60 @converter=Youyouaidi::Converter, @uuid="550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000">
# or alternatively a short UUID can be passed
uuid = UUID uuid_short    # creates similar Youyouaidi::UUID object
# => #<Youyouaidi::UUID:0x0000010150bb60 @converter=Youyouaidi::Converter, @uuid="550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000">

uuid.to_s                 # Returns the string representation of the UUID object
# => '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000'
uuid.to_short_s           # Returns the short string representation of the UUID object
# => '_oGOAbD9fsFFEHWSMal1v', alias for method: #to_param
