JAVA : Difference between Vector and ArrayList?
Do you like this Article?
Vector :
ArrayList :
- It's synchronized.
- It's slower than ArrayList.
- It's generally used in multithreading programs.
ArrayList :
- It's unsynchronized.
- It's faster than Vector.
- It's generally used in single-thread programs.

Good differences, nicely put in point format. another one is that vector was not member of collection framework prior to JDK 1.4 and later retrofitted into Collection API. see here for more differences between Vector and ArrayList

ArrayList does allow null. Stop posting wrong information.

Vector is a part of collection frame work please go the 1.3 documentation of Oracle.

we can specify the increment size with the vector and with arraylist we can't.

One more difference between ArrayList vs Vector is that later is a legacy class and initially not part of Collection API

vector:
It is introduced in java 1.2
It is thread safe
ArrayList:
It is introduced in java 1.5
It is not thread safe

One more -
Arraylist is more memory effective than vector because of the difference between their load factor.
Explanation:
Load Factor of Vector is 2 * old_value, means if a vector is sized 10 and it needs to re-size then it will be re-sized to 20 (2 * 10).
whereas load factor of ArrayList is (3 * old_value) / 2 + 1, means if an arraylist is sized 10 and needs to re-size then it will be re-sized to 16 ( (3*10) / 2 + 1 )

There is one more option instead of vector, synchronized ArrayList, its better because Vector is too old and can be deprecated.
