Since String is immutable in java, whenever we do String manipulation like concat, substring etc, it generates a new String and discard the older String for garbage collection. StringBuffer and StringBuilder are mutable objects in java and provide append(), insert(), delete() and substring() methods for String manipulation.

**String is immutable ( once created can not be changed )object . The object created as a String is stored in the Constant String Pool . **StringBuffer StringBuffer is mutable means one can change the value of the object . The object created through StringBuffer is stored in the heap . StringBuffer has the same methods as the StringBuilder , but each method in StringBuffer is synchronized that is StringBuffer is thread safe . **StringBuilder StringBuilder is same as the StringBuffer , that is it stores the object in heap and it can also be modified . The main difference between the StringBuffer and StringBuilder is that StringBuilder is also not thread safe. StringBuilder is fast as it is not thread safe .
