public static String slurp (final File file)
throws IOException {
    StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();

    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));

    try {
        char[] buf = new char[1024];

        int r = 0;

        while ((r = reader.read(buf)) != -1) {
            result.append(buf, 0, r);
        }
    }
    finally {
        reader.close();
    }

    return result.toString();
}

如果您愿意使用外部库，请查看ApacheCommonsIO（200KBJAR）。它包含一个org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.readFileToString（）方法，该方法允许您用一行代码将整个文件读取为字符串。

例子：

import java.io.*;
import java.nio.charset.*;
import org.apache.commons.io.*;

public String readFile() throws IOException {
    File file = new File("data.txt");
    return FileUtils.readFileToString(file, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
}

import java.nio.file.Files;

.......

 String readFile(String filename) {
            File f = new File(filename);
            try {
                byte[] bytes = Files.readAllBytes(f.toPath());
                return new String(bytes,"UTF-8");
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return "";
    }

在java8中，有一个新类

java.util.stream.stream流

流表示一系列元素，并支持对这些元素执行计算的不同类型的操作

这里有一个例子：

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public Class ReadFile{
  public  static String readFile(String filePath) {
 StringBuilder  stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    String ls = System.getProperty("line.separator");
        try {

            try (Stream<String> lines = Files.lines(Paths.get(filePath), StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) {
                for (String line : (Iterable<String>) lines::iterator) {


                      stringBuilder.append(line);
                      stringBuilder.append(ls);


                }
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

      return stringBuilder.toString(); 


}

}

这一个使用RandomAccessFile.readFully方法，它似乎可以从JDK 1.0中获得！

public static String readFileContent(String filename, Charset charset) throws IOException {
    RandomAccessFile raf = null;
    try {
        raf = new RandomAccessFile(filename, "r");
        byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)raf.length()];
        raf.readFully(buffer);
        return new String(buffer, charset);
    } finally {
        closeStream(raf);
    }
} 


private static void closeStream(Closeable c) {
    if (c != null) {
        try {
            c.close();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            // do nothing
        }
    }
}

我还不能评论其他条目，所以我就把它留在这里。

这里最好的答案之一(https://stackoverflow.com/a/326448/1521167):

private String readFile(String pathname) throws IOException {

File file = new File(pathname);
StringBuilder fileContents = new StringBuilder((int)file.length());
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file);
String lineSeparator = System.getProperty("line.separator");

try {
    while(scanner.hasNextLine()) {        
        fileContents.append(scanner.nextLine() + lineSeparator);
    }
    return fileContents.toString();
} finally {
    scanner.close();
}
}

仍然有一个缺陷。它总是在字符串末尾添加换行符，这可能会导致一些奇怪的错误。我的建议是将其更改为：

    private String readFile(String pathname) throws IOException {
    File file = new File(pathname);
    StringBuilder fileContents = new StringBuilder((int) file.length());
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file)));
    String lineSeparator = System.getProperty("line.separator");

    try {
        if (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
            fileContents.append(scanner.nextLine());
        }
        while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
            fileContents.append(lineSeparator + scanner.nextLine());
        }
        return fileContents.toString();
    } finally {
        scanner.close();
    }
}
