Frameworks for efficient representation of string objects in java programming environments

摘要

Alternative techniques for representation of Java string objects are needed. The techniques are especially useful for representing Java objects in Java computing environments and can thereby improving the performance of a virtual machine, especially those with relatively limited resources (e.g., embedded systems with relatively smaller memory and computing power). The techniques can be implemented to create Java string objects as arrays of one-byte characters when it is appropriate. To create Java string objects an enhanced constructor can be provided in a Java library that is available to application programs (or programmers). In addition, enhanced Java methods can also be provided in the Java library.
