String、StringBuffer、StringBuilder之间的区别（浅谈）

基本概念

String

Strings are constant; their values cannot be changed after they are created. String buffers support mutable strings. Because String objects are immutable they can be shared.

字符串不变; 它们的值在创建后不能被更改。 字符串缓冲区支持可变字符串。 因为String对象是不可变的，它们可以被共享。

StringBuffer

A thread-safe, mutable sequence of characters. A string buffer is like a String, but can be modified. At any point in time it contains some particular sequence of characters, but the length and content of the sequence can be changed through certain method calls.

String buffers are safe for use by multiple threads. The methods are synchronized where necessary so that all the operations on any particular instance behave as if they occur in some serial order that is consistent with the order of the method calls made by each of the individual threads involved.

线程安全，可变的字符序列。 字符串缓冲区就像一个String，但可以修改。 在任何时间点，它包含一些特定的字符序列，但可以通过某些方法调用来更改序列的长度和内容。

字符串缓冲区可以安全地被多个线程使用。 这些方法在必要时进行同步，以便任何特定实例上的所有操作都按照与所涉及的各个线程所执行的方法调用顺序一致的顺序发生。

StringBuilder

A mutable sequence of characters. This class provides an API compatible with StringBuffer, but with no guarantee of synchronization. This class is designed for use as a drop-in replacement for StringBuffer in places where the string buffer was being used by a single thread (as is generally the case). Where possible, it is recommended that this class be used in preference to StringBuffer as it will be faster under most implementations.

一个可变的字符序列。 此类提供与StringBuffer的API，但不保证同步。 此类设计用作简易替换为StringBuffer在正在使用由单个线程字符串缓冲区的地方（如通常是这种情况）。 在可能的情况下，建议使用这个类别优先于StringBuffer
