这里有另一种不使用外部库的方法:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public String readFile(String filename)
{
    String content = null;
    File file = new File(filename); // For example, foo.txt
    FileReader reader = null;
    try {
        reader = new FileReader(file);
        char[] chars = new char[(int) file.length()];
        reader.read(chars);
        content = new String(chars);
        reader.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if(reader != null){
            reader.close();
        }
    }
    return content;
}

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)

这里有另一种不使用外部库的方法:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public String readFile(String filename)
{
    String content = null;
    File file = new File(filename); // For example, foo.txt
    FileReader reader = null;
    try {
        reader = new FileReader(file);
        char[] chars = new char[(int) file.length()];
        reader.read(chars);
        content = new String(chars);
        reader.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if(reader != null){
            reader.close();
        }
    }
    return content;
}

在实践中，缓冲流类的性能要高得多，以至于NIO.2 API包含了专门返回这些流类的方法，部分原因是为了鼓励您始终在应用程序中使用缓冲流。

这里有一个例子:

Path path = Paths.get("/myfolder/myfile.ext");
try (BufferedReader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(path)) {
    // Read from the stream
    String currentLine = null;
    while ((currentLine = reader.readLine()) != null)
        //do your code here
} catch (IOException e) {
    // Handle file I/O exception...
}

您可以替换此代码

BufferedReader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(path);

与

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/myfolder/myfile.ext"));

我推荐这篇文章来学习Java NIO和IO的主要用途。

如果您有一个大文件，您可以使用Apache Commons IO迭代处理该文件，而不会耗尽可用内存。

try (LineIterator it = FileUtils.lineIterator(theFile, "UTF-8")) {
    while (it.hasNext()) {
        String line = it.nextLine();
        // do something with line
    }
}

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。
