  - isValidUUID
```
public static boolean isValidUUID(String value)
```
    Checks if the value is a valid UUID confirming to RFC 4122. The general form is 8-4-4-4-12 where all the digits are hexadecimal. Example: e94c302e-e684-4d72-9060-a66461f858d6
    This method has been tested with UUIDs generated using UUID.randomUUID() and UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes(byte[]). It has also been tested with UUIDs created using the constructor UUID(long, long) with the caveat that the most and least significant bits came from valid type 3 and 4 UUIDs.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the string to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if a valid UUID, false otherwise
