使用此库时，只有一行：

String data = IO.from(new File("data.txt")).toString();

请注意，当使用fileInputStream.available（）时，返回的整数不必表示实际的文件大小，而是系统应该能够在不阻塞IO的情况下从流中读取的猜测字节数

public String readStringFromInputStream(FileInputStream fileInputStream) {
    StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
    try {
        byte[] buffer;
        while (fileInputStream.available() > 0) {
            buffer = new byte[fileInputStream.available()];
            fileInputStream.read(buffer);
            stringBuffer.append(new String(buffer, "ISO-8859-1"));
        }
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    } catch (IOException e) { }
    return stringBuffer.toString();
}

应该考虑的是，这种方法不适用于UTF-8等多字节字符编码。

import java.nio.file.Files;

.......

 String readFile(String filename) {
            File f = new File(filename);
            try {
                byte[] bytes = Files.readAllBytes(f.toPath());
                return new String(bytes,"UTF-8");
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return "";
    }

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

Java 7

String content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("readMe.txt")), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

Java 11

String content = Files.readString(Paths.get("readMe.txt"));

基于扫描仪的非常精简的解决方案：

Scanner scanner = new Scanner( new File("poem.txt") );
String text = scanner.useDelimiter("\\A").next();
scanner.close(); // Put this call in a finally block

或者，如果要设置字符集：

Scanner scanner = new Scanner( new File("poem.txt"), "UTF-8" );
String text = scanner.useDelimiter("\\A").next();
scanner.close(); // Put this call in a finally block

或者，使用trywithresources块，它将为您调用scanner.close（）：

try (Scanner scanner = new Scanner( new File("poem.txt"), "UTF-8" )) {
    String text = scanner.useDelimiter("\\A").next();
}

请记住，Scanner构造函数可以引发IOException。不要忘记导入java.io和java.util。

同一主题上有一个变体，它使用for循环而不是while循环来限制行变量的范围。是否“更好”取决于个人品味。

for(String line = reader.readLine(); line != null; line = reader.readLine()) {
    stringBuilder.append(line);
    stringBuilder.append(ls);
}
