Performance replacement for String in Java

Question

Hi

Anyone remembers the name of that opensource "project" that developed some nice replacement for String in java ?

I know there is is one, just cant find it in google and dont remember the name. (i am not talking about StringBuilder)

Thanks

Answer 1

Are you looking for ropes?

A rope is a high performance replacement for Strings. The datastructure, described in detail in "Ropes: an Alternative to Strings", provides asymptotically better performance than both String and StringBuffer for common string modifications like prepend, append, delete, and insert. Like Strings, ropes are immutable and therefore well-suited for use in multi-threaded programming.

Answer 2

Maybe Javolution and its javolution.text.Text?
