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

Based on the accepted answer, here is a utility method that mocks the behavior of IOUtils.toString() (and an overloaded version with a charset, as well). This version should be safe, right?

public static String toString(final InputStream is) throws IOException{
    return toString(is, Charsets.UTF_8);
}


public static String toString(final InputStream is, final Charset cs)
throws IOException{
    Closeable closeMe = is;
    try{
        final InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is, cs);
        closeMe = isr;
        return CharStreams.toString(isr);
    } finally{
        Closeables.closeQuietly(closeMe);
    }
}
