我记录了15种用Java读取文件的方法，然后测试了它们在不同文件大小下的速度——从1kb到1gb，下面是最常用的三种方法:

java.nio.file.Files.readAllBytes() Tested to work in Java 7, 8, and 9. import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.nio.file.Files; public class ReadFile_Files_ReadAllBytes { public static void main(String [] pArgs) throws IOException { String fileName = "c:\\temp\\sample-10KB.txt"; File file = new File(fileName); byte [] fileBytes = Files.readAllBytes(file.toPath()); char singleChar; for(byte b : fileBytes) { singleChar = (char) b; System.out.print(singleChar); } } } java.io.BufferedReader.readLine() Tested to work in Java 7, 8, 9. import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.FileReader; import java.io.IOException; public class ReadFile_BufferedReader_ReadLine { public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException { String fileName = "c:\\temp\\sample-10KB.txt"; FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(fileName); try (BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader)) { String line; while((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) { System.out.println(line); } } } } java.nio.file.Files.lines() This was tested to work in Java 8 and 9 but won't work in Java 7 because of the lambda expression requirement. import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.util.stream.Stream; public class ReadFile_Files_Lines { public static void main(String[] pArgs) throws IOException { String fileName = "c:\\temp\\sample-10KB.txt"; File file = new File(fileName); try (Stream linesStream = Files.lines(file.toPath())) { linesStream.forEach(line -> { System.out.println(line); }); } } }

这基本上与Jesus Ramos的回答完全相同，除了使用File而不是FileReader加上迭代来逐级遍历文件的内容。

Scanner in = new Scanner(new File("filename.txt"));

while (in.hasNext()) { // Iterates each line in the file
    String line = in.nextLine();
    // Do something with line
}

in.close(); // Don't forget to close resource leaks

．.． 抛出FileNotFoundException

try {
  File f = new File("filename.txt");
  Scanner r = new Scanner(f);  
  while (r.hasNextLine()) {
    String data = r.nextLine();
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(data);
  }
  r.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("Error occurred");
  ex.printStackTrace();
}

org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils中的方法也可能非常方便，例如:

/**
 * Reads the contents of a file line by line to a List
 * of Strings using the default encoding for the VM.
 */
static List readLines(File file)

最简单的方法是使用Java中的Scanner类和FileReader对象。简单的例子:

Scanner in = new Scanner(new FileReader("filename.txt"));

扫描器有几个方法读取字符串，数字，等…您可以在Java文档页面上查找有关这方面的更多信息。

例如，将整个内容读入String:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while(in.hasNext()) {
    sb.append(in.next());
}
in.close();
outString = sb.toString();

另外，如果你需要一个特定的编码，你可以使用这个来代替FileReader:

new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(fileUtf8), StandardCharsets.UTF_8)

使用BufferedReader:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

BufferedReader br;
try {
    br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/fileToRead.txt"));
    try {
        String x;
        while ( (x = br.readLine()) != null ) {
            // Printing out each line in the file
            System.out.println(x);
        }
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    System.out.println(e);
    e.printStackTrace();
}
