来自Perl,我肯定错过了在源代码中创建多行字符串的“here-document”方法:

$string = <<"EOF"  # create a three-line string
text
text
text
EOF

在Java中,当我从头开始连接多行字符串时,我必须在每一行上使用繁琐的引号和加号。

有什么更好的选择吗?在属性文件中定义我的字符串?

编辑:有两个答案说StringBuilder.append()比加号更可取。谁能详细解释一下他们为什么这么想?在我看来,这一点也不可取。我正在寻找一种方法来解决多行字符串不是一级语言结构这一事实,这意味着我绝对不想用方法调用取代一级语言结构(字符串连接与加号)。

编辑:为了进一步澄清我的问题,我根本不关心性能。我关心的是可维护性和设计问题。


当前回答

使用Properties.loadFromXML (InputStream)。不需要外部库。

比起混乱的代码(因为可维护性和设计是您所关心的),最好不要使用长字符串。 从读取xml属性开始:

 InputStream fileIS = YourClass.class.getResourceAsStream("MultiLine.xml");
 Properties prop = new Properies();
 prop.loadFromXML(fileIS);

然后,您可以使用您的多行字符串在一个更可维护的方式…

static final String UNIQUE_MEANINGFUL_KEY = "Super Duper UNIQUE Key";
prop.getProperty(UNIQUE_MEANINGFUL_KEY) // "\n    MEGA\n   LONG\n..."

MultiLine.xml`位于同一个文件夹YourClass:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">

<properties>
    <entry key="Super Duper UNIQUE Key">
       MEGA
       LONG
       MULTILINE
    </entry>
</properties>

注:你可以使用<![CDATA[”…"]]>为类似xml的字符串。

其他回答

我建议使用ThomasP所建议的实用程序,然后将其链接到构建过程中。仍然存在一个外部文件以包含文本,但在运行时不读取该文件。 工作流程如下:

构建一个“文本文件到java代码”实用程序并检查到版本控制 在每次构建时,针对资源文件运行实用程序以创建修改后的java源 Java源代码包含类似于 类TextBlock{…后面跟着一个从资源文件自动生成的静态字符串 用剩下的代码构建生成的java文件

这是一个老线程,但是一个新的非常优雅的解决方案(只有4个或3个小缺点)是使用自定义注释。

查询:http://www.adrianwalker.org/2011/12/java-multiline-string.html

受此启发的一个项目托管在GitHub上:

https://github.com/benelog/multiline

Java代码示例:

import org.adrianwalker.multilinestring.Multiline;
...
public final class MultilineStringUsage {

  /**
  <html>
    <head/>
    <body>
      <p>
        Hello<br/>
        Multiline<br/>
        World<br/>
      </p>
    </body>
  </html>
  */
  @Multiline
  private static String html;

  public static void main(final String[] args) {
    System.out.println(html);
  }
}

缺点是

您必须激活相应的(提供的)注释 处理器。 该字符串变量不能定义为局部变量检查原始字符串字面量项目,其中您可以将变量定义为局部变量 字符串不能像在Visual Basic .Net中那样包含其他变量 使用XML文本(<%=变量%>):-) 字符串文字由JavaDoc注释(/**)分隔

而且您可能必须配置Eclipse/Intellij-Idea,使其不会自动重新格式化Javadoc注释。

有人可能会觉得这很奇怪(Javadoc注释并不是为嵌入注释以外的任何内容而设计的),但由于Java中缺少多行字符串确实令人讨厌,因此我认为这是最不糟糕的解决方案。

Java 13及以上版本

Java中现在通过文本块支持多行字符串。在Java 13和14中,这个特性要求你在构建和运行项目时设置——enable-preview选项。在Java 15及以后版本中,由于文本块已成为标准特性,因此不再需要此选项。查看官方的文本块编程指南,了解更多细节。

现在,在Java 13之前,你是这样写查询的:

List<Tuple> posts = entityManager
.createNativeQuery(
    "SELECT *\n" +
    "FROM (\n" +
    "    SELECT *,\n" +
    "           dense_rank() OVER (\n" +
    "               ORDER BY \"p.created_on\", \"p.id\"\n" +
    "           ) rank\n" +
    "    FROM (\n" +
    "        SELECT p.id AS \"p.id\",\n" +
    "               p.created_on AS \"p.created_on\",\n" +
    "               p.title AS \"p.title\",\n" +
    "               pc.id as \"pc.id\",\n" +
    "               pc.created_on AS \"pc.created_on\",\n" +
    "               pc.review AS \"pc.review\",\n" +
    "               pc.post_id AS \"pc.post_id\"\n" +
    "        FROM post p\n" +
    "        LEFT JOIN post_comment pc ON p.id = pc.post_id\n" +
    "        WHERE p.title LIKE :titlePattern\n" +
    "        ORDER BY p.created_on\n" +
    "    ) p_pc\n" +
    ") p_pc_r\n" +
    "WHERE p_pc_r.rank <= :rank\n",
    Tuple.class)
.setParameter("titlePattern", "High-Performance Java Persistence %")
.setParameter("rank", 5)
.getResultList();

多亏了Java 13 Text Blocks,你可以像下面这样重写这个查询:

List<Tuple> posts = entityManager
.createNativeQuery("""
    SELECT *
    FROM (
        SELECT *,
               dense_rank() OVER (
                   ORDER BY "p.created_on", "p.id"
               ) rank
        FROM (
            SELECT p.id AS "p.id",
                   p.created_on AS "p.created_on",
                   p.title AS "p.title",
                   pc.id as "pc.id",
                   pc.created_on AS "pc.created_on",
                   pc.review AS "pc.review",
                   pc.post_id AS "pc.post_id"
            FROM post p
            LEFT JOIN post_comment pc ON p.id = pc.post_id
            WHERE p.title LIKE :titlePattern
            ORDER BY p.created_on
        ) p_pc
    ) p_pc_r
    WHERE p_pc_r.rank <= :rank
    """,
    Tuple.class)
.setParameter("titlePattern", "High-Performance Java Persistence %")
.setParameter("rank", 5)
.getResultList();

可读性强多了,对吧?

支持的想法

IntelliJ IDEA提供了将传统字符串连接块转换为新的多行字符串格式的支持:

Json, html, XML

多行String在编写JSON、HTML或XML时特别有用。

考虑下面的例子,使用String连接来构建一个JSON字符串文字:

entityManager.persist(
    new Book()
    .setId(1L)
    .setIsbn("978-9730228236")
    .setProperties(
        "{" +
        "   \"title\": \"High-Performance Java Persistence\"," +
        "   \"author\": \"Vlad Mihalcea\"," +
        "   \"publisher\": \"Amazon\"," +
        "   \"price\": 44.99," +
        "   \"reviews\": [" +
        "       {" +
        "           \"reviewer\": \"Cristiano\", " +
        "           \"review\": \"Excellent book to understand Java Persistence\", " +
        "           \"date\": \"2017-11-14\", " +
        "           \"rating\": 5" +
        "       }," +
        "       {" +
        "           \"reviewer\": \"T.W\", " +
        "           \"review\": \"The best JPA ORM book out there\", " +
        "           \"date\": \"2019-01-27\", " +
        "           \"rating\": 5" +
        "       }," +
        "       {" +
        "           \"reviewer\": \"Shaikh\", " +
        "           \"review\": \"The most informative book\", " +
        "           \"date\": \"2016-12-24\", " +
        "           \"rating\": 4" +
        "       }" +
        "   ]" +
        "}"
    )
);

由于转义字符和大量的双引号和加号,您几乎无法阅读JSON。

使用Java文本块,JSON对象可以这样写:

entityManager.persist(
    new Book()
    .setId(1L)
    .setIsbn("978-9730228236")
    .setProperties("""
        {
           "title": "High-Performance Java Persistence",
           "author": "Vlad Mihalcea",
           "publisher": "Amazon",
           "price": 44.99,
           "reviews": [
               {
                   "reviewer": "Cristiano",
                   "review": "Excellent book to understand Java Persistence",
                   "date": "2017-11-14",
                   "rating": 5
               },
               {
                   "reviewer": "T.W",
                   "review": "The best JPA ORM book out there",
                   "date": "2019-01-27",
                   "rating": 5
               },
               {
                   "reviewer": "Shaikh",
                   "review": "The most informative book",
                   "date": "2016-12-24",
                   "rating": 4
               }
           ]
        }
        """
    )
);

自从我在2004年使用c#以来,我一直希望在Java中有这个功能,现在我们终于有了它。

在Eclipse中,如果你打开选项“在粘贴到字符串文字时转义文本”(在Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing中)并在引号中粘贴一个多行字符串,它将自动为你的所有行添加“和\n”+。

String str = "paste your text here";

当我读到多行语法确实是为jdk7计划的(在java存在了多少年之后?)时,我有点恼火。有趣的是,甚至还没有readAll()函数用于读取文件的完整内容(仅从jdk7读取,啊啊),因此下面的代码读取单行。

/*
  MakeMultiline v1.0 (2010) - Free to use and copy.

  Small gadget to turn text blobs into one java string literal
  (doing the split in lines, adding \n at each end and enclosing
  in double quotes). Does escape quotes encountered in the text blob.

  Useful for working around missing multiline string syntax in java
  prior jdk7. Use with:

     java MakeMultiline "    "
  or
     java MakeMultiline "    " mytextfile.txt
*/

import java.io.*;

class MakeMultiline {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      // args[0]: indent
      // args[1]: filename to read (optional; stdin if not given)
      // Beware the nmb of newlines at the end when using stdin!

      String indent = (args.length > 0 ? args[0] : "");
      FileReader fr = null; BufferedReader br;
      if (args.length > 1)
        { fr =  new FileReader(args[1]); br = new BufferedReader(fr); }
      else
        { br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); }
      String s; String res = "";
      while((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
        if (res.length() > 0) res += " +\n";
        res += indent + "\"" + s.replace("\"", "\\\"") + "\\n\"";
      }
      br.close(); if (fr != null) fr.close();
      System.out.println(res + ";");
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
    }
  }
}

这对我来说是最快的解决办法。(2010-01-27)
