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); }); } } }

这里有一个简单的解决方案:

String content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("sample.txt")));

或读作列表:

List<String> content = Files.readAllLines(Paths.get("sample.txt"))

可能没有缓冲I/O那么快，但是非常简洁:

    String content;
    try (Scanner scanner = new Scanner(textFile).useDelimiter("\\Z")) {
        content = scanner.next();
    }

\Z模式告诉扫描器分隔符是EOF。

Java 11 Files.readString中引入了最直观的方法

import java.io.*;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class App {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
        String content = Files.readString(Paths.get("D:\\sandbox\\mvn\\my-app\\my-app.iml"));
        System.out.print(content);
    }
}

PHP几十年来一直享有这种特权!☺

Guava提供了一个简单的例子:

import com.google.common.base.Charsets;
import com.google.common.io.Files;

String contents = Files.toString(filePath, Charsets.UTF_8);

如果这是关于结构的简单性，请使用Java kiss:

import static kiss.API.*;

class App {
  void run() {
    String line;
    try (Close in = inOpen("file.dat")) {
      while ((line = readLine()) != null) {
        println(line);
      }
    }
  }
}
