ArrayList vs Vector

ArrayList	Vector	ArrayList & Vector
Maintains the insertion order of element	Maintains the insertion order of element	Both are ordered collection classes as they maintain the elements insertion order.
ArrayList is not Synchronized. We can make this Synchronized. [Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList());]	Vector is Synchronized.
ArrayList  is not thread-safe	Vector is Thread-safe, shared between multiple threads.
Faster than Vector. Give Better performance than Vector. Better for non-threaded applications.	Much Slower than ArryaList for single thread use. (Synchronization makes Vector slow)
		ArrayList and Vector allows null and duplicates.
ArrayList is using Iterator for Traversing. Iterator in the ArrayList is fail-fast iterator.	Vector is using both Iterator and Enumerator for Traversing. Enumerator in the Vector is not fail-fast.	Both Iterator and ListIterator returned by ArrayList and Vector are fail_fast
ArrayList grow by half of its size when resized. It increase its array size by 50% while insertion.	Vector doubles the size of its array size. Vector increments 100% if it exceeds its capacity.	Both use dynamically resizable array as a data structure internally They both can grow and shrink dynamically .(increase or decrease size) when overflow and deletion happens
Doesn’t define increment size. Default size is 10. (If you create an arraylist means , you had created array with 10 elements and with values for all as null) It is better to set initial capacity if you know the size in advance. ArrayList<?> list = new ArrayList<>(20);  So that we can avoid the cost of resizing.(otherwise if it cross size 10,it will create a new array and copy the data of old to new and , GC the old one)	We can set increment size for vector. public synchronized void setSize(int i) {} If you don’t know initial capacity , but if u know the rate at which array can grow use vector.
Introduced in java version 1.2(with collections). Not a Legacy Class	Introduced in first Versions of Java. As part of Legacy Classes (older version of java, not used by any one)
