Java 8 – Reading a file as String

There are a lot of examples how to read a file content in Java 8. The most common one is

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("duke.java")));
    }

import java.io.IOException;

import java.nio.file.Files;

import java.nio.file.Paths;

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

String content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("duke.java")));

}

Use always a charset with String to Byte array transformations and vice versa...
