Padder (JRecordBind 3.3.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractLeftPadder, AbstractPadder, AbstractRightPadder, SpaceLeftPadder, SpaceRightPadder, ZeroLeftPadder, ZeroRightPadder
```
public interface Padder
```
Used when writing records to a file. Some record definitions require data to be left or right padded. By default the Marshaller will left pad using spaces. JRecordBind comes with 4 built-in padders that left or right pad using spaces or zeros. If you need a different padding, you can specify it by implementing this interface.
The default padder is specified in the "main" tag of the record definition, and each element can have its own specific padder
