What is the difference between `String.format()` and `String.formatted()` (Java 15+)?

Accepted Answer

The key difference between `String.format()` and `String.formatted()` in Java 15+ is that `format()` is a static factory method, while `formatted()` is an instance method on the String class that essentially does the same thing.
