What is a good alternative of LTRIM and RTRIM in Java?

Question

What is a good alternative of JavaScript ltrim() and rtrim() functions in Java?

Answer 1

Might be a bit cheap, but you might also use these without any other library:

final var string = "   Hello World   ";

final var rtrimmed = ("." + string).trim().substring(1);
// => "   Hello World"

var ltrimmed = (string + ".").trim();
ltrimmed = ltrimmed.substring(0, ltrimmed.length - 1);
// => "Hello World   "

I admit, that the ltrimmed is not that pretty, but it will do the trick.
