Java Collections Framework(JCF) 是Java SE中一个基本的类集,几乎所有的项目都会用到,其中的 List 则是JCF中最最常用的一个接口。围绕 List 接口,有很多实现,诸如常用的 ArrayList LinkedList Vector Stack ,还有Java5之后引入的 CopyOnWriteArrayList ,也有不少 List 的开源实现,如Apache commons-collections中的各类 List

这么多的 List 实现,如何选择?他们的运行效率具体怎样?本篇文章将用具体的代码来检测其中最最常用的一些 List 实现。

测试环境:
处理器:Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz
内存:2G
硬盘:160G 7200rpm
Java:SUN JDK 1.6.0_15
开发环境:Eclipse 3.5
第三方类库:Apache commons-lang 2.4、Apache commons-collections 3.2.1

主要测试对象:
java.util.ArrayList;
java.util.LinkedList;
java.util.Stack;
java.util.Vector;
java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList;
org.apache.commons.collections.FastArrayList;
org.apache.commons.collections.list.TreeList;

测试用例:
1.测试 List
1.1顺序添加
1.2随机插入
1.3随机删除
1.4随机访问
1.5随机更新
1.5顺序迭代
2.测试 List 在三种情况下的排序效率
2.1初始时 List 中元素已从小到大有序排列(最优情况)
2.2初始时 List 中元素已从大到小有序排列(最差情况)
2.3初始时 List 中元素随机排列,无序
3.测试 List 互相转换的效率
3.1转化为 TreeList
3.2转化为 ArrayList
3.3转化为 LinkedList
3.4转化为 CopyOnWriteArrayList
3.5转化为 Vector

结论: 
  1.随机插入、随机删除操作中,用TreeList 效率最高;
  2.在只需要追加、迭代的环境下,LinkedList 效率最高;
  3.平均效率来讲,ArrayList 相对平衡,但如果海量随机操作,还是会造成性能瓶颈;
  4.CopyOnWriteArrayList 因为线程安全的原因,致使性能降低很多,所以慎用;
  5.Vector 没有传说中那么低的效率;
  6.让Stack 来做List 的事可以,不过语义上Stack 不应该做过多的List 的事情;
  7.在排序中,ArrayList 具有最好的性能,TreeList 平均性能也不错,LinkedList 的排序效率受元素初始状态的影响很大。
  8.各种List 间转换几乎没有时间损耗。
