* 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. *
* The principal operations on a StringBuffer are the
* append and insert methods, which are
* overloaded so as to accept data of any type. Each effectively
* converts a given datum to a string and then appends or inserts the
* characters of that string to the string buffer. The
* append method always adds these characters at the end
* of the buffer; the insert method adds the characters at
* a specified point.
*
* For example, if z refers to a string buffer object
* whose current contents are "start", then
* the method call z.append("le") would cause the string
* buffer to contain "startle", whereas
* z.insert(4, "le") would alter the string buffer to
* contain "starlet".
*
* In general, if sb refers to an instance of a StringBuffer,
* then sb.append(x) has the same effect as
* sb.insert(sb.length(), x).
*
* Whenever an operation occurs involving a source sequence (such as * appending or inserting from a source sequence) this class synchronizes * only on the string buffer performing the operation, not on the source. *
* Every string buffer has a capacity. As long as the length of the
* character sequence contained in the string buffer does not exceed
* the capacity, it is not necessary to allocate a new internal
* buffer array. If the internal buffer overflows, it is
* automatically made larger.
*
* As of release JDK 5, this class has been supplemented with an equivalent
* class designed for use by a single thread, {@link StringBuilder}. The
* StringBuilder class should generally be used in preference to
* this one, as it supports all of the same operations but it is faster, as
* it performs no synchronization.
