Hema,
The BIG difference is that String objects are immutable (can't be changed) while StringBuffer objects are mutable (can be modified).
If your application requires making a slight modification to the value of an existing string or expanding an existing string, you might consider StringBuffer. If you use String, a new String object must be constructed every time you want to make a change to the string.
