Parse decodes s into a UUID or returns an error . Both the standard UUID forms of xxxxxxxx - xxxx - xxxx - xxxx - xxxxxxxxxxxx and urn : uuid : xxxxxxxx - xxxx - xxxx - xxxx - xxxxxxxxxxxx are decoded as well as the Microsoft encoding { xxxxxxxx - xxxx - xxxx - xxxx - xxxxxxxxxxxx } and the raw hex encoding : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .
