Utils to read resource text file to String (Java) [closed]

Answer 1

I'm using the following for reading resource files from the classpath:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class ResourceUtilities
{
    public static String resourceToString(String filePath) throws IOException, URISyntaxException
    {
        try (InputStream inputStream = ResourceUtilities.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(filePath))
        {
            return inputStreamToString(inputStream);
        }
    }

    private static String inputStreamToString(InputStream inputStream)
    {
        try (Scanner scanner = new Scanner(inputStream).useDelimiter("\\A"))
        {
            return scanner.hasNext() ? scanner.next() : "";
        }
    }
}
