<brief_description>
+ Singleton for managing a cache of resource UIDs within a project.
</brief_description>
<description>
+ Resources can not only be referenced using their resource paths [code]res://[/code], but alternatively through a unique identifier specified via [code]uid://[/code].
+ Using UIDs allows for the engine to keep references between resources intact, even if the files get renamed or moved.
+ This singleton is responsible for keeping track of all registered resource UIDs of a project, generating new UIDs and converting between the string and integer representation.
