我建议使用String.format()是更好的实践。主要原因是String.format()可以更容易地使用从资源文件加载的文本进行本地化，而拼接如果不为每种语言生成带有不同代码的新可执行文件就无法进行本地化。

如果你打算让你的应用程序本地化，你也应该养成为你的格式标记指定参数位置的习惯:

"Hello %1$s the time is %2$t"

然后可以对其进行本地化，并交换名称和时间令牌，而不需要重新编译可执行文件以考虑不同的顺序。对于参数位置，你也可以重复使用相同的参数，而不需要将其传递给函数两次:

String.format("Hello %1$s, your name is %1$s and the time is %2$t", name, time)

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。

你不能比较字符串连接和字符串。格式由上面的程序。

你也可以尝试交换使用你的字符串的位置。格式和连接在你的代码块如下所示

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {      
  long start = System.currentTimeMillis();

  for( int i=0;i<1000000; i++){
    String s = String.format( "Hi %s; Hi to you %s",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") ;
}

您会惊讶地发现，Format在这里工作得更快。这是因为创建的初始对象可能不会被释放，内存分配可能会出现问题，从而影响性能。

性能:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {      
  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");
}

授时结果如下:

串联= 265毫秒 格式= 4141毫秒

因此，连接比String.format快得多。

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.

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
