在现代Java版本中，instanceof操作符作为一个简单的方法调用更快。这意味着:

if(a instanceof AnyObject){
}

为:

if(a.getType() == XYZ){
}

另一件事是如果你需要级联许多instanceof。然后，只调用一次getType()的切换会更快。

我基于jmh-java-benchmark- prototype:2.21编写了一个性能测试。JDK为openjdk, version为1.8.0_212。测试机器是mac pro。 测试结果为:

Benchmark                Mode  Cnt    Score   Error   Units
MyBenchmark.getClasses  thrpt   30  510.818 ± 4.190  ops/us
MyBenchmark.instanceOf  thrpt   30  503.826 ± 5.546  ops/us

结果表明:getClass优于instanceOf，这与其他测试结果相反。然而，我不知道为什么。

测试代码如下:

public class MyBenchmark {

public static final Object a = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();

@Benchmark
@BenchmarkMode(Mode.Throughput)
@OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS)
public boolean instanceOf() {
    return a instanceof Map;
}

@Benchmark
@BenchmarkMode(Mode.Throughput)
@OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS)
public boolean getClasses() {
    return a.getClass() == HashMap.class;
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws RunnerException {
    Options opt =
        new OptionsBuilder().include(MyBenchmark.class.getSimpleName()).warmupIterations(20).measurementIterations(30).forks(1).build();
    new Runner(opt).run();
}
}

You're focusing on the wrong thing. The difference between instanceof and any other method for checking the same thing would probably not even be measurable. If performance is critical then Java is probably the wrong language. The major reason being that you can't control when the VM decides it wants to go collect garbage, which can take the CPU to 100% for several seconds in a large program (MagicDraw 10 was great for that). Unless you are in control of every computer this program will run on you can't guarantee which version of JVM it will be on, and many of the older ones had major speed issues. If it's a small app you may be ok with Java, but if you are constantly reading and discarding data then you will notice when the GC kicks in.

方法

我写了一个基准程序来评估不同的实现:

实例实现(作为参考) 通过抽象类和@Override测试方法实现面向对象 使用自己的类型实现 getClass() == _.class实现

我使用jmh运行了100个预热调用、1000个测试迭代和10个分支的基准测试。因此，每个选项都测量了10,000次，在我的MacBook Pro上运行macOS 10.12.4和Java 1.8的整个基准测试需要12:18:57。该基准衡量每个选项的平均时间。要了解更多细节，请参阅我在GitHub上的实现。

为了完整起见:这个答案和我的基准有一个以前的版本。

结果

| Operation  | Runtime in nanoseconds per operation | Relative to instanceof |
|------------|--------------------------------------|------------------------|
| INSTANCEOF | 39,598 ± 0,022 ns/op                 | 100,00 %               |
| GETCLASS   | 39,687 ± 0,021 ns/op                 | 100,22 %               |
| TYPE       | 46,295 ± 0,026 ns/op                 | 116,91 %               |
| OO         | 48,078 ± 0,026 ns/op                 | 121,42 %               |

在Java 1.8中，instanceof是最快的方法，尽管getClass()非常接近。

将决定性能影响的项目有:

The number of possible classes for which the instanceof operator could return true The distribution of your data - are most of the instanceof operations resolved in the first or second attempt? You'll want to put your most likely to return true operations first. The deployment environment. Running on a Sun Solaris VM is significantly different than Sun's Windows JVM. Solaris will run in 'server' mode by default, while Windows will run in client mode. The JIT optimizations on Solaris, will make all method access able the same.

我为四种不同的分派方法创建了一个微基准测试。Solaris的结果如下所示，数值越小越快:

InstanceOf 3156
class== 2925 
OO 3083 
Id 3067 

现代JVM/JIT编译器已经消除了大多数传统的“慢”操作对性能的影响，包括instanceof、异常处理、反射等。

正如Donald Knuth所写的，“我们应该忘记小的效率，大约97%的时候:过早的优化是万恶之源。”instanceof的性能可能不是问题，所以在确定问题所在之前，不要浪费时间想出奇异的解决方案。
