Identifiers

In many places, Cord SDK expects some form of an ID. Examples include:

• managing users and orgs using Cord’s REST API
• thread-id required by the Thread component

Most strings are usable as an ID. In particular, a valid ID is a string that:

• has at least 1 character
• has no more than 320 Unicode characters
• does not have any characters from Unicode’s “Other” category (control characters, private use characters and unassigned code points)
• does not start with cord: (that prefix is reserved for Cord’s internal use)

Examples of valid IDs are UUIDs, email addresses, JSON-stringified objects, and numbers that you convert to strings.
