How to get character array from a CharSequence?

Question

Is there any way to convert a CharSequence to an array of chars? Why doesn't the interface have a method to get characters as an array?

Probably because it was created before default methods existed and they didn't go back and add them. — Peter Lawrey, Jul 29 '18 at 08:48

I first convert the CharSequence to String and then get it as character array:

public char[] getAsCharArray(CharSequence input) {
    return input.toString().toCharArray();
}

Is it a way to do it w/o `toString()`? Assume char sequence contains a password. – ivan.ukr Apr 11 '21 at 20:12
