源码分析—String

String部分源码如下所示：

public final class String
    implements java.io.Serializable, Comparable<String>, CharSequence {
   /** The value is used for character storage. */
    private final char value[];
    
    /** Cache the hash code for the string */
    private int hash; // Default to 0
 
    /**
     * Initializes a newly created {@code String} object so that it represents
     * the same sequence of characters as the argument; in other words, the
     * newly created string is a copy of the argument string. Unless an
     * explicit copy of {@code original} is needed, use of this constructor is
     * unnecessary since Strings are immutable.
     *
     * @param  original
     *         A {@code String}
     */
    public String(String original) {
        this.value = original.value;
        this.hash = original.hash;
    }
    
     /**
     * Allocates a new string that contains the sequence of characters
     * currently contained in the string builder argument. The contents of the
     * string builder are copied; subsequent modification of the string builder
     * does not affect the newly created string.
     *
     * <p> This constructor is provided to ease migration to {@code
     * StringBuilder}. Obtaining a string from a string builder via the {@code
     * toString} method is likely to run faster and is generally preferred.
     *
     * @param   builder
     *          A {@code StringBuilder}
     *
     * @since  1.5
     */
    public String(StringBuilder builder) {
        this.value = Arrays.copyOf(builder.getValue(), builder.length());
    }

    /*
    * Package private constructor which shares value array for speed.
    * this constructor is always expected to be called with share==true.
    * a separate constructor is needed because we already have a public
    * String(char[]) constructor that makes a copy of the given char[].
    */
    String(char[] value, boolean share) {
        // assert share : "unshared not supported";
        this.value = value;
    }
}

可见：
1. String其内部是一个char数组。
2. String 类是不可改变的(final)，一旦创建了 String 对象，它的值就无法改变了。
3. 对String类的任何改变( 应该选择使用StringBuffer & StringBuilder )，都是返回一个新的String类对象。
