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。

我还没有看到的另一个答案是java.io.PrintWriter。

StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(stringWriter);
writer.println("It was the best of times, it was the worst of times");
writer.println("it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,");
writer.println("it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,");
writer.println("it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,");
writer.println("it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,");
writer.println("we had everything before us, we had nothing before us");
String string = stringWriter.toString();

此外,java.io.BufferedWriter有一个newLine()方法的事实也未被提及。

我有时使用一个并行groovy类来充当一个字符串包

这里的java类

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(TestStrings.json1);
        // consume .. parse json
    }
}

以及TestStrings.groovy中令人垂涎的多行字符串

class TestStrings {
    public static String json1 = """
    {
        "name": "Fakeer's Json",
        "age":100,
        "messages":["msg 1","msg 2","msg 3"]
    }""";
}

当然,这只适用于静态字符串。如果我必须在文本中插入变量,我会将整个文件更改为groovy。只要保持强类型实践,它就可以实现。

这是你不应该在不考虑它在做什么的情况下使用的东西。但对于一次性脚本,我已经成功地使用了这个方法:

例子:

    System.out.println(S(/*
This is a CRAZY " ' ' " multiline string with all sorts of strange 
   characters!
*/));

代码:

// From: http://blog.efftinge.de/2008/10/multi-line-string-literals-in-java.html
// Takes a comment (/**/) and turns everything inside the comment to a string that is returned from S()
public static String S() {
    StackTraceElement element = new RuntimeException().getStackTrace()[1];
    String name = element.getClassName().replace('.', '/') + ".java";
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    String line = null;
    InputStream in = classLoader.getResourceAsStream(name);
    String s = convertStreamToString(in, element.getLineNumber());
    return s.substring(s.indexOf("/*")+2, s.indexOf("*/"));
}

// From http://www.kodejava.org/examples/266.html
private static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is, int lineNum) {
    /*
     * To convert the InputStream to String we use the BufferedReader.readLine()
     * method. We iterate until the BufferedReader return null which means
     * there's no more data to read. Each line will appended to a StringBuilder
     * and returned as String.
     */
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    String line = null; int i = 1;
    try {
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            if (i++ >= lineNum) {
                sb.append(line + "\n");
            }
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        try {
            is.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    return sb.toString();
}

使用这个库

https://github.com/alessio-santacroce/multiline-string-literals

可以这样写

System.out.println(newString(/*
      Wow, we finally have
      multiline strings in
      Java! HOOO!
*/));

很好很简单,但是只适用于单元测试
