到目前为止，我还没有在其他答案中看到它。但是如果“最佳”意味着速度，那么新的Java I/O (NIO)可能提供最快的性能，但对于初学者来说并不总是最容易理解的。

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); }); } } }

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)

对于基于jsf的Maven web应用程序，只需使用ClassLoader和Resources文件夹读取任何你想要的文件:

Put any file you want to read in the Resources folder. Put the Apache Commons IO dependency into your POM: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId> <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId> <version>1.3.2</version> </dependency> Use the code below to read it (e.g. below is reading in a .json file): String metadata = null; FileInputStream inputStream; try { ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); inputStream = (FileInputStream) loader .getResourceAsStream("/metadata.json"); metadata = IOUtils.toString(inputStream); inputStream.close(); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } return metadata;

您可以对文本文件、.properties文件、XSD模式等执行相同的操作。

我最喜欢的读取小文件的方法是使用BufferedReader和StringBuilder。它非常简单和切中要害(虽然不是特别有效，但对大多数情况来说已经足够好了):

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"));
try {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    String line = br.readLine();

    while (line != null) {
        sb.append(line);
        sb.append(System.lineSeparator());
        line = br.readLine();
    }
    String everything = sb.toString();
} finally {
    br.close();
}

有人指出，在Java 7之后，你应该使用try-with-resources(即自动关闭)功能:

try(BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"))) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    String line = br.readLine();

    while (line != null) {
        sb.append(line);
        sb.append(System.lineSeparator());
        line = br.readLine();
    }
    String everything = sb.toString();
}

当我读取这样的字符串时，我通常希望每行都做一些字符串处理，所以我选择了这个实现。

虽然如果我只是想将文件读入字符串，我总是使用Apache Commons IO和类IOUtils.toString()方法。你可以在这里查看源代码:

http://www.docjar.com/html/api/org/apache/commons/io/IOUtils.java.html

FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("foo.txt");
try {
    String everything = IOUtils.toString(inputStream);
} finally {
    inputStream.close();
}

在Java 7中甚至更简单:

try(FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("foo.txt")) {     
    String everything = IOUtils.toString(inputStream);
    // do something with everything string
}
