In this short article, we will be exploring different methods of padding a string in Java. We will create methods that pad with default values (empty spaces), and methods that allow us to pad a String with a custom character. The String class in Java doesn’t have a padding method out of the box, so we will be creating different methods as well as use different libraries to pad a string in Java.

Padding with default value: We will create an overloaded method to pad with a default character or a custom character. The first pad method will contain an initial text and the desired length while setting the custom pad character of the second pad method to a space character.
