Read text from InputStream [duplicate]

Answer 1

I've found a nice way in Java 8 with streams:

public static String readString(InputStream is) {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
    String content = br.lines().reduce("", String::concat);
    return content;
}

As stated above you can swap new InputStreamReader(is) with new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"), but I have no experience with this constructor.
