From https://stackoverflow.com/questions/355089/difference-between-stringbuilder-and-stringbuffer
“ StringBuffer <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/StringBuffer.html> is synchronized, StringBuilder <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/StringBuilder.html> is not.” So if threading and Java memory model requirements are managed already by the code, StringBuilder will be more efficient. Otherwise StringBuffer is the right choice.
