How to read a file as a byte array in Scala

Question

I can find tons of examples but they seem to either rely mostly on Java libraries or just read characters/lines/etc.

I just want to read in some file and get a byte

Answer 1

You can use the Apache Commons Compress IOUtils

import org.apache.commons.compress.utils.IOUtils

val file = new File("data.bin")
IOUtils.toByteArray(new FileInputStream(file))
