Benchmark: cuid2 with various lengths

HTML Preparation code:

<script type="module">
  import {init} from "https://jspm.dev/@paralleldrive/cuid2";
  window.cuid2_8 = init({length: 8});
  window.cuid2_12 = init({length: 12});
  window.cuid2_16 = init({length: 16});
  window.cuid2_24 = init({length: 24});
  window.cuid2_32 = init({length: 32});

The provided JSON represents a JavaScript microbenchmark created on MeasureThat.net. The benchmark measures the performance of the `cuid2` function, which generates random UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers).

**Script Preparation Code:**
The script preparation code is a module script that imports the `init` function from the `@paralleldrive/cuid2` library and initializes multiple instances with different lengths (8, 12, 16, 24, and 32). These instances are then assigned to the `window.cuid2_<length>` variables.

**Benchmark Definition:**
The benchmark definition is a list of individual test cases, each representing a specific execution of the `cuid2` function with a different length. The `Benchmark Definition` field specifies the code that will be executed for each test case.

**Options Compared:**
The benchmark compares the performance of the `cuid2` function with different lengths:

1. `cuid2_8()`: UUID length 8
2. `cuid2_12()`: UUID length 12
3. `cuid2_16()`: UUID length 16
4. `cuid2_24()`: UUID length 24
5. `cuid2_32()`: UUID length 32

**Pros and Cons of Different Approaches:**

* **Shorter UUIDs (8, 12)**:
	+ Pros: faster execution, reduced memory usage.
	+ Cons: may not be suitable for applications that require a high level of uniqueness or security.
* **Medium-sized UUIDs (16, 24)**:
	+ Pros: balances performance and uniqueness, suitable for most applications.
	+ Cons: may still have some overhead compared to shorter UUIDs.
* **Longer UUIDs (32)**:
	+ Pros: highest level of uniqueness and security, but also the slowest execution.
	+ Cons: may be too slow for real-time applications or those with performance constraints.

**Library:**
The `@paralleldrive/cuid2` library is a JavaScript implementation of the UUID generation algorithm. Its purpose is to provide a reliable and efficient way to generate unique identifiers for various applications.

**Special JS Feature/Syntax:**
None mentioned in this explanation, as the benchmark does not use any special or proprietary JavaScript features or syntax.

**Other Considerations:**

* **Security:** The `cuid2` library uses a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) to generate UUIDs. This ensures that the generated IDs are highly unlikely to be predictable or guessed.
* **Performance:** The benchmark measures the execution speed of the `cuid2` function with different lengths. This can help developers optimize their application for performance and resource efficiency.

**Alternatives:**

* Other JavaScript libraries for UUID generation, such as `uuid-js`, `random-uuid`, or `node-uuid`.
* In-house implementations of UUID generation algorithms.
* Alternative data structures or methods to generate unique identifiers, such as hash tables or cryptographic hashes.
