Java基础之--StringBuffer和StringBuilder

StringBuffer和StringBuilder都是字符串变量,但是StringBuffer是线程安全的,但运行速度较StringBuilder慢,StringBuilder是线程不安全的,速度相对快一些.

依据源码可以看出StringBuilder的方法是不加锁的.

 @Override
    public StringBuilder append(CharSequence s) {
        super.append(s);
        return this;
    }

    /**
     * @throws     IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     */
    @Override
    public StringBuilder append(CharSequence s, int start, int end) {
        super.append(s, start, end);
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public StringBuilder append(char[] str) {
        super.append(str);
        return this;
    }

依据源码,StringBuffer的方法是加锁的.

 @Override
    public synchronized int length() {
        return count;
    }

    @Override
    public synchronized int capacity() {
        return value.length;
    }


    @Override
    public synchronized void ensureCapacity(int minimumCapacity) {
        super.ensureCapacity(minimumCapacity);
    }

    /**
     * @since      1.5
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized void trimToSize() {
        super.trimToSize();
    }

    /**
     * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     * @see        #length()
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized void setLength(int newLength) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.setLength(newLength);
    }

    /**
     * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     * @see        #length()
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized char charAt(int index) {
        if ((index < 0) || (index >= count))
            throw new StringIndexOutOfBoundsException(index);
        return value[index];
    }

所以如果是单线程中,可以考虑使用StringBuilder.如果是多线程,有安全顾虑时,可以考虑使用StringBuilder.
