Our data actually states that the feature was added in NodeJS 16.7.0 -- if you look at the compatibility table on the MDN page, you'll notice an ellipsis in the cell for NodeJS, which indicates there is more data to display. Clicking on the cell will reveal the additional data.

However, looking at the NodeJS docs, there's some inconsistencies between it and our data, so this needs to be reviewed further, it looks like.

this is node.js's crypto module's randomUUID() method, they are completely different method

but it is worth mentioning the similar method, which is already done

[skyclouds2001]

the randomUUID() of crypto module is supported in v15.6.0 and v14.17.0, but the randomUUID() of Web Crypto class is supported in v16.7.0
