• SimpleDateFormat
• LocalDate
• LocalTime

 

Method 1: Get Current Date and Time Using SimpleDateFormat

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

	public static void main(String[] args) {
	  System.out.println(java.time.LocalDate.now());
	}
}

Output:

Method 3: Get Current Date and Time Using LocalTime

public class Main {
