isBlank() API

The isBlank() String class method returns true if the string is empty or contains only whitespace. Otherwise, it returns false:

package net.javaguides.examples;
/**

 * @author Ramesh Fadatare
 *
 */
public class StringAPIInJDK11 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String input = "\n\t\u2005 ";

        /**
         * The isBlank() instance method returns true if the string is empty or contains
         * only whitespace. Otherwise, it returns false
         */
        boolean result = input.isBlank();
        System.out.println(result);
    }
}
