String.format()不仅仅是连接字符串。例如，可以使用String.format()显示特定地区的数字。

然而，如果你不关心本地化，就没有功能上的区别。 也许这个连接比另一个快，但在大多数情况下，它可以忽略不计。

我想我们可以用MessageFormat。格式，因为它应该在可读性和性能方面都很好。

我使用了与Icaro在上面的回答中使用的相同的程序，并通过添加使用MessageFormat来解释性能数字的代码来增强它。

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
      String s = "Hi " + i + "; Hi to you " + i * 2;
    }
    long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("Concatenation = " + ((end - start)) + " millisecond");

    start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
      String s = String.format("Hi %s; Hi to you %s", i, +i * 2);
    }
    end = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("Format = " + ((end - start)) + " millisecond");

    start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
      String s = MessageFormat.format("Hi %s; Hi to you %s", i, +i * 2);
    }
    end = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("MessageFormat = " + ((end - start)) + " millisecond");
  }

串联= 69毫秒 格式= 1435毫秒 MessageFormat = 200毫秒

更新:

根据SonarLint报告，printf风格的格式字符串应该正确使用(squid:S3457)

Because printf-style format strings are interpreted at runtime, rather than validated by the compiler, they can contain errors that result in the wrong strings being created. This rule statically validates the correlation of printf-style format strings to their arguments when calling the format(...) methods of java.util.Formatter, java.lang.String, java.io.PrintStream, MessageFormat, and java.io.PrintWriter classes and the printf(...) methods of java.io.PrintStream or java.io.PrintWriter classes.

我用括号替换了printf样式，得到了一些有趣的结果，如下所示。

串联= 69毫秒格式= 1107毫秒 格式:括号= 416毫秒MessageFormat = 215 毫秒MessageFormat:括号= 2517毫秒

我的结论是: 如上所述，使用String。带尖括号的格式应该是一个很好的选择，以获得良好的可读性和性能。

It takes a little time to get used to String.Format, but it's worth it in most cases. In the world of NRA (never repeat anything) it's extremely useful to keep your tokenized messages (logging or user) in a Constant library (I prefer what amounts to a static class) and call them as necessary with String.Format regardless of whether you are localizing or not. Trying to use such a library with a concatenation method is harder to read, troubleshoot, proofread, and manage with any any approach that requires concatenation. Replacement is an option, but I doubt it's performant. After years of use, my biggest problem with String.Format is the length of the call is inconveniently long when I'm passing it into another function (like Msg), but that's easy to get around with a custom function to serve as an alias.

一般来说，字符串连接应该优先于string .format。后者有两个主要缺点:

它不以本地方式对要构建的字符串进行编码。 构建过程编码在字符串中。

第一点，我的意思是不可能理解String.format()调用在一次连续传递中所做的事情。人们被迫在格式字符串和参数之间来回切换，同时计算参数的位置。对于短连接，这不是什么大问题。但是，在这些情况下，字符串连接不那么详细。

第2点，我的意思是构建过程的重要部分编码在格式字符串中(使用DSL)。使用字符串表示代码有很多缺点。它本身不是类型安全的，并且使语法高亮显示、代码分析和优化等变得复杂。

当然，在使用Java语言之外的工具或框架时，可能会出现新的因素。

这是一个以毫秒为单位的多个样本大小的测试。

          b.append(i).append(" > ").append(sysFile);

下面是与上面相同的测试，只是修改了对StringBuilder调用toString()方法。下面的结果表明，StringBuilder方法比使用+操作符的字符串连接稍微慢一点。

文件:StringTest.java

class StringTest {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    String formatString = "Hi %s; Hi to you %s";

    long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
        String s = String.format(formatString, i, +i * 2);
    }

    long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("Format = " + ((end - start)) + " millisecond");

    start = System.currentTimeMillis();

    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
        String s = "Hi " + i + "; Hi to you " + i * 2;
    }

    end = System.currentTimeMillis();

    System.out.println("Concatenation = " + ((end - start)) + " millisecond");

    start = System.currentTimeMillis();

    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
        StringBuilder bldString = new StringBuilder("Hi ");
        bldString.append(i).append("Hi to you ").append(i * 2).toString();
    }

    end = System.currentTimeMillis();

    System.out.println("String Builder = " + ((end - start)) + " millisecond");

  }
}

Shell命令:(编译并运行StringTest 5次)

> javac StringTest.java
> sh -c "for i in \$(seq 1 5); do echo \"Run \${i}\"; java StringTest; done"

结果:

Run 1
Format = 1290 millisecond
Concatenation = 115 millisecond
String Builder = 130 millisecond

Run 2
Format = 1265 millisecond
Concatenation = 114 millisecond
String Builder = 126 millisecond

Run 3
Format = 1303 millisecond
Concatenation = 114 millisecond
String Builder = 127 millisecond

Run 4
Format = 1297 millisecond
Concatenation = 114 millisecond
String Builder = 127 millisecond

Run 5
Format = 1270 millisecond
Concatenation = 114 millisecond
String Builder = 126 millisecond
