JDK中最简单的方法是使用以下代码片段。

String convertToString(InputStream in){
    String resource = new Scanner(in).useDelimiter("\\Z").next();
    return resource;
}

如果您使用的是AWS SDK v2，请调用IoUtils.toUtf8String（）：

public String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
    return IoUtils.toUtf8String(is);
}

Kotlin用户只需：

println(InputStreamReader(is).readText())

鉴于

readText()

是Kotlin标准库的内置扩展方法。

你可以使用仙人掌：

String text = new TextOf(inputStream).asString();

UTF-8编码是默认编码。如果您需要另一个：

String text = new TextOf(inputStream, "UTF-16").asString();

下面是如何仅使用JDK使用字节数组缓冲区来实现这一点。这实际上就是commons-ioIOUItils.copy（）方法的工作原理。如果要从Reader而不是InputStream复制，可以用char[]替换byte[]。

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;

...

InputStream is = ....
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(8192);
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
int count = 0;
try {
  while ((count = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
    baos.write(buffer, 0, count);
  }
}
finally {
  try {
    is.close();
  }
  catch (Exception ignore) {
  }
}

String charset = "UTF-8";
String inputStreamAsString = baos.toString(charset);

我在这里对14个不同的答案做了一个基准测试（很抱歉没有提供学分，但有太多重复）。

结果非常令人惊讶。事实证明，Apache IOUtils是最慢的解决方案，ByteArrayOutputStream是最快的解决方案：

因此，首先是最好的方法：

public String inputStreamToString(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
    try(ByteArrayOutputStream result = new ByteArrayOutputStream()) {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int length;
        while ((length = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
            result.write(buffer, 0, length);
        }

        return result.toString(UTF_8);
    }
}
