Java编译器对String做了特殊处理，使得我们可以直接用+拼接字符串。

虽然可以直接拼接字符串，但是，在循环中，每次循环都会创建新的字符串对象，然后扔掉旧的字符串。这样，绝大部分字符串都是临时对象，不但浪费内存，还会影响GC效率。

为了能高效拼接字符串，Java标准库提供了StringBuilder，它是一个可变对象，可以预分配缓冲区，这样，往StringBuilder中新增字符时，不会创建新的临时对象：

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(1024);
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    sb.append(',');
    sb.append(i);
}
String s = sb.toString();

StringBuilder还可以进行链式操作：

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        var sb = new StringBuilder(1024);
        sb.append("Mr ")
          .append("Bob")
          .append("!")
          .insert(0, "Hello, ");
        System.out.println(sb.toString());
    }
}

    public AbstractStringBuilder append(Object obj) {
        return append(String.valueOf(obj));
    }

    public AbstractStringBuilder append(String str) {
        if (str == null)
            return appendNull();
        int len = str.length();
        ensureCapacityInternal(count + len);
        str.getChars(0, len, value, count);
        count += len;
        return this;
    }

    // Documentation in subclasses because of synchro difference
    public AbstractStringBuilder append(StringBuffer sb) {
        if (sb == null)
            return appendNull();
        int len = sb.length();
        ensureCapacityInternal(count + len);
        sb.getChars(0, len, value, count);
        count += len;
        return this;
    }

如果我们查看StringBuilder的源码，可以发现，进行链式操作的关键是，定义的append()方法会返回this，这样，就可以不断调用自身的其他方法。

仿照StringBuilder，我们也可以设计支持链式操作的类。例如，一个可以不断增加的计数器：

public class Main {
    publicer adder = new Adder();
        adder.add(3)
              static void main(String[] args) {
        Add.add(5)
             .inc()
             .add(10);
        System.out.println(adder.value());
    }https://gio.ren/w/YoXDbNoq
}

class Adder {
    private int sum = 0;

    public Adder add(int n) {
        sum += n;
        return this;
    }

    public Adder inc() {
        sum ++;
        return this;
    }

    public int value() {
        return sum;
    }
}

注意：对于普通的字符串+操作，并不需要我们将其改写为StringBuilder，因为Java编译器在编译时就自动把多个连续的+操作编码为StringConcatFactory的操作。在运行期，StringConcatFactory会自动把字符串连接操作优化为数组复制或者StringBuilder操作。

你可能还听说过StringBuffer，这是Java早期的一个StringBuilder的线程安全版本，它通过同步来保证多个线程操作StringBuffer也是安全的，但是同步会带来执行速度的下降。

StringBuilder和StringBuffer接口完全相同，现在完全没有必要使用StringBuffer。

StringBuilder是可变对象，用来高效拼接字符串；

StringBuilder可以支持链式操作，实现链式操作的关键是返回实例本身；

StringBuffer是StringBuilder的线程安全版本，现在很少使用。
