Java: StringBuilder vs StringBuffer
By admin on Aug 26, 2008 in Java, Programming
StringBuilder is introduced starting JDK 1.5. There are few differences for them
- StringBuffer is designed to be thread-safe and all public methods in StringBuffer are synchronized. StringBuilder does not handle thread-safety issue and none of its methods is synchronized.
- StringBuilder has better performance than StringBuffer under most circumstances.
So, use StringBuilder if it is not used by multiple threads.
