java中的StringBuffer类

StringBuffer类到底有什么特点，通过查看api源码不难看出它的特点，源码里有添加、查看、插入和删除的方法：

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

    /**
     * @since      1.5
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized int codePointAt(int index) {
        return super.codePointAt(index);
    }

    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer append(Object obj) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.append(String.valueOf(obj));
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer append(String str) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.append(str);
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer append(char c) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.append(c);
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer append(int i) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.append(i);
        return this;
    }

    /**
     * @since 1.5
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer appendCodePoint(int codePoint) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.appendCodePoint(codePoint);
        return this;
    }
   
    /**
     * @throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     * @since      1.2
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer delete(int start, int end) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.delete(start, end);
        return this;
    }

    /**
     * @throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     * @since      1.2
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer deleteCharAt(int index) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.deleteCharAt(index);
        return this;
    }

    /**
     * @throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     * @since      1.2
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer replace(int start, int end, String str) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.replace(start, end, str);
        return this;
    }

    /**
     * @throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     * @since      1.2
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized String substring(int start) {
        return substring(start, count);
    }

    /**
     * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     * @since      1.4
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized CharSequence subSequence(int start, int end) {
        return super.substring(start, end);
    }

    /**
     * @throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     * @since      1.2
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized String substring(int start, int end) {
        return super.substring(start, end);
    }

    /**
     * @throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     * @since      1.2
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer insert(int index, char[] str, int offset,
                                            int len)
    {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.insert(index, str, offset, len);
        return this;
    }

    /**
     * @throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized StringBuffer insert(int offset, Object obj) {
        toStringCache = null;
        super.insert(offset, String.valueOf(obj));
        return this;
    }

这里只是拎出来了部分源码，从这些源码不难看出使用StringBuffer会很方便，而且有synchronized关键字修饰，所以是线程安全的。 StringBuffer类里的方法的使用可以阅读源码获知，也可以参照以下博客。
