使用此库时，只有一行：

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

该代码将规范换行符，这可能是您真正想要做的，也可能不是。

这里有一个替代方案，它没有做到这一点，而且比NIO代码更容易理解（IMO）（尽管它仍然使用java.NIO.charset.charset）：

public static String readFile(String file, String csName)
            throws IOException {
    Charset cs = Charset.forName(csName);
    return readFile(file, cs);
}

public static String readFile(String file, Charset cs)
            throws IOException {
    // No real need to close the BufferedReader/InputStreamReader
    // as they're only wrapping the stream
    FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(file);
    try {
        Reader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream, cs));
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
        char[] buffer = new char[8192];
        int read;
        while ((read = reader.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) > 0) {
            builder.append(buffer, 0, read);
        }
        return builder.toString();
    } finally {
        // Potential issue here: if this throws an IOException,
        // it will mask any others. Normally I'd use a utility
        // method which would log exceptions and swallow them
        stream.close();
    }        
}

在一行（Java 8）中，假设您有一个Reader：

String sMessage = String.join("\n", reader.lines().collect(Collectors.toList()));

如果您需要字符串处理（并行处理），Java8有很棒的StreamAPI。

String result = Files.lines(Paths.get("file.txt"))
                    .parallel() // for parallel processing 
                    .map(String::trim) // to change line   
                    .filter(line -> line.length() > 2) // to filter some lines by a predicate                        
                    .collect(Collectors.joining()); // to join lines

JDK示例samples/lambda/BulkDataOperations中提供了更多示例，可以从Oracle Java SE 8下载页面下载

另一个单线示例

String out = String.join("\n", Files.readAllLines(Paths.get("file.txt")));

如果您正在寻找不涉及第三方库（例如Commons I/O）的替代方案，可以使用Scanner类：

private String readFile(String pathname) throws IOException {

    File file = new File(pathname);
    StringBuilder fileContents = new StringBuilder((int)file.length());        

    try (Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file)) {
        while(scanner.hasNextLine()) {
            fileContents.append(scanner.nextLine() + System.lineSeparator());
        }
        return fileContents.toString();
    }
}

自JDK 11以来：

String file = ...
Path path = Paths.get(file);
String content = Files.readString(path);
// Or readString(path, someCharset), if you need a Charset different from UTF-8
