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

Another option is to read bytes from Stream and create a String from them:

new String(ByteStreams.toByteArray(inputStream))
new String(ByteStreams.toByteArray(inputStream), Charsets.UTF_8)

It's not 'pure' Guava, but it's a little bit shorter.
