In Java, you can use the Security.getAlgorithms("MessageDigest") to list all the available MessageDigest algorithms.

package com.mkyong.hashing;

import java.security.Security;
import java.util.Set;

public class ListMessageDigest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Set<String> messageDigest = Security.getAlgorithms("MessageDigest");
        messageDigest.forEach(x -> System.out.println(x));

    }

}

Output

SHA3-512
SHA-384
SHA
SHA3-384
SHA-224
SHA-512/256
SHA-256
MD2
SHA-512/224
SHA3-256
SHA-512
MD5
SHA3-224

P.S Tested with JDK 10.0.1
