The toString() method of java.lang.Package class is used to get the String representation of this package instance. The method returns the String representation as a String value. Syntax:

public String toString()

Parameter: This method does not accepts any parameter. Return Value: This method returns the String representation as a String value. Below programs demonstrate the toString() method. Example 1: 

Java 
// Java program to demonstrate
// toString() method

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // returns the Package
        // object for this package
        Package myPackage
            = Package.getPackage("java.lang");

        // get the String representation of this package
        // using toString() method
        System.out.println(
            "String representation: "
            + myPackage.toString());
    }
}
Output:
String representation: package java.lang, Java Platform API Specification, version 1.8

Example 2:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // returns the Package
        // object for this package
        Package myPackage
            = Package.getPackage("java.io");

        // get the toString value of this package
        // using toString() method
        System.out.println(
            "String representation: "
            + myPackage.toString());
    }
