请注意，当使用fileInputStream.available（）时，返回的整数不必表示实际的文件大小，而是系统应该能够在不阻塞IO的情况下从流中读取的猜测字节数

public String readStringFromInputStream(FileInputStream fileInputStream) {
    StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
    try {
        byte[] buffer;
        while (fileInputStream.available() > 0) {
            buffer = new byte[fileInputStream.available()];
            fileInputStream.read(buffer);
            stringBuffer.append(new String(buffer, "ISO-8859-1"));
        }
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    } catch (IOException e) { }
    return stringBuffer.toString();
}

应该考虑的是，这种方法不适用于UTF-8等多字节字符编码。

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();
    }
}

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();
}

Guava有一种类似于Willi aus Rohr提到的Commons IOUtils的方法：

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

// ...

String text = Files.toString(new File(path), Charsets.UTF_8);

由PiggyPiglet编辑文件#toString已弃用，将于2019年10月删除。而是使用Files.asCharSource（新文件（路径），StandardCharsets.UTF_8）.read（）；

奥斯卡·雷耶斯编辑

这是引用库中的（简化）基础代码：

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] b  = new byte[file.length()];
int len = b.length;
int total = 0;

while (total < len) {
  int result = in.read(b, total, len - total);
  if (result == -1) {
    break;
  }
  total += result;
}

return new String( b , Charsets.UTF_8 );

编辑（Jonik）：以上内容与最近的Guava版本的源代码不匹配。有关当前源代码，请参阅com.google.common.io包中的类Files、CharStreams、ByteSource和CharSource。

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

将文件读取为二进制文件并在末尾转换

public static String readFileAsString(String filePath) throws IOException {
    DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(filePath));
    try {
        long len = new File(filePath).length();
        if (len > Integer.MAX_VALUE) throw new IOException("File "+filePath+" too large, was "+len+" bytes.");
        byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) len];
        dis.readFully(bytes);
        return new String(bytes, "UTF-8");
    } finally {
        dis.close();
    }
}
