Java Program to Convert Object to String
The first byte needs to be converted into an object byte which can easily be dealt with to convert to strings. Convert Object to String in java using toString[] method of Object class or String.valueOf[object] method. Since there are mainly two types of class in java, i.e. user-defined class and predefined class such as StringBuilder or StringBuffer of whose objects can be converted into the string.
Approaches:
- Converting User-defined class object to String
- Converting StringBuilder[Predefined class] object to String
Method 1: Using toString[] method or String.valueOf[object_name] method.

// Java Program to convert pre defined class object
// [Helper class] to string using value[] method
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main[String[] args]
{
// Object of helper class
Helper help = new Helper[];
// converting object to string
// using toString[] method
String s1 = help.toString[];
// converting object to string
// using valueOf[] method
String s2 = String.valueOf[help];
// Printing the converted string
System.out.println[
"Converted string object || using toString[] Method: " + s1];
// Printing the converted string
System.out.println[
"Converted string object || using valueOf[] Method: " + s2];
}
}
class Helper {
// To make class object in main
}

Method 2: Converting StringBuilder[Predefined class] object to String.
The StringBuilder in Java represents a mutable sequence of characters. Since the String Class in Java creates an immutable sequence of characters, the StringBuilder class provides an alternative to String Class, as it creates a mutable sequence of characters.
Class Hierarchy:
java.lang.Object java.lang Class StringBuilderExample:
|
// Java Program to convert StringBuilder object to string
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main[String[] args]
{
/* String taken for consideration */
String s = "Geeks For Geeks";
// Passing string s to StringBuilder class object
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder[s];
// Converting the object to string
// Converting StringBuilder to string
String objToString = sb.toString[];
// Printing the strings to verify
System.out.println["String: " + s];
System.out.println["Converted String: "
+ objToString];
}
}
