Java split String performances

by

String.split(String) won’t create regexp if your pattern is only one character long. When splitting by single character, it will use specialized code which is pretty efficient. StringTokenizer is not much faster in this particular case.

This was introduced in OpenJDK7/OracleJDK7. Here’s a bug report and a commit. I’ve made a simple benchmark here.

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)

$ java Split
split_banthar: 1231
split_tskuzzy: 1464
split_tskuzzy2: 1742
string.split: 1291
StringTokenizer: 1517
