Guava equivalent for IOUtils.toString(InputStream)

Question

Apache Commons IO has a nice convenience method IOUtils.toString() to read an InputStream to a String.

Since I am trying to move away from Apache Common

Answer 1

If you've got a Readable you can use CharStreams.toString(Readable). So you can probably do the following:

String string = CharStreams.toString( new InputStreamReader( inputStream, "UTF-8" ) );

Forces you to specify a character set, which I guess you should be doing anyway.
