您可以使用Apache Commons。

在IOUItils中，您可以找到toString方法以及三个有用的实现。

public static String toString(InputStream input) throws IOException {
        return toString(input, Charset.defaultCharset());
}

public static String toString(InputStream input) throws IOException {
        return toString(input, Charset.defaultCharset());
}

public static String toString(InputStream input, String encoding)
            throws IOException {
        return toString(input, Charsets.toCharset(encoding));
}

InputStream is = Context.openFileInput(someFileName); // whatever format you have

ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

byte[] b = new byte[8192];
for (int bytesRead; (bytesRead = is.read(b)) != -1;) {
    bos.write(b, 0, bytesRead);
}

String output = bos.toString(someEncoding);

另一个，对于所有Spring用户：

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import org.springframework.util.FileCopyUtils;

public String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) throws IOException { 
    return new String(FileCopyUtils.copyToByteArray(is), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
}

org.springframework.util.StreamUtils中的实用程序方法与FileCopyUtils中类似，但它们在完成后会使流保持打开状态。

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);
    }
}

}

这里是在不使用任何第三方库的情况下将InputStream转换为String的完整方法。对于单线程环境使用StringBuilder，否则使用StringBuffer。

public static String getString( InputStream is) throws IOException {
    int ch;
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    while((ch = is.read()) != -1)
        sb.append((char)ch);
    return sb.toString();
}

以下内容并没有回答最初的问题，而是回答了一些问题。

几个回答暗示了这种形式的循环

String line = null;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
  // ...
}

or

for(String line = reader.readLine(); line != null; line = reader.readLine()) {
    // ...
}

第一种形式通过在封闭作用域中声明一个变量“read”来污染封闭作用域的命名空间，该变量不会用于for循环之外的任何内容。第二个表单重复readline（）调用。

这里有一种用Java编写这种循环的更简洁的方法。事实证明，for循环中的第一个子句不需要实际的初始值设定项值。这将变量“line”的范围保持在for循环的主体内。更优雅！我在任何地方都没有看到有人使用这个表单（几年前的一天我随机发现了它），但我一直在使用它。

for (String line; (line = reader.readLine()) != null; ) {
    //...
}
