Java源码阅读-StringBuffer和StringBuilder

StringBuffer和StringBuilder都继承自AbstractStringBuilder，而AbstractStringBuilder和String都实现了CharSequence接口。

StringBuilder是非线程安全的，StringBuffer是线程安全的，很多方法都用synchronized修饰，所以效率较低。

StringBuffer的append方法

public synchronized StringBuffer append(String str) { // 同步
        super.append(str); // 调用父类AbstractStringBuilder的append方法
        return this;
    }

StringBuilder的append方法

public StringBuilder append(String str) {
        super.append(str); // 调用父类AbstractStringBuilder的append方法
        return this;
    }

StringBuffer的构造函数

/**
     * Constructs a string buffer with no characters in it and an
     * initial capacity of 16 characters.
     */
    public StringBuffer() {
        super(16); // 默认容量是16个字符
    }

StringBuilder的构造函数

/**
     * Constructs a string builder with no characters in it and an
     * initial capacity of 16 characters.
     */
    public StringBuilder() {
        super(16); // 同样是16个字符
    }
