StringBuffer and StringBuilder : StringBuffer StringBuilder « Development « Java Tutorial






  1. Using StringBuffer and StringBuilder to transform strings frequently: adding, deleting, or replacing substrings in a string.
  2. Operations will be faster and easier using mutable objects.
  3. All the operations in the context of StringBuffer are available with the StringBuilder class, which will be faster but not thread-safe.
