java - Reading entire html file to String?

Question

Are there better ways to read an entire html file to a single string variable than:

    String content = "";
    try {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("mypage.html"));
        String str;
        while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
            content +=str;
        }
        in.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }

Answer 1

You should use a StringBuilder:

StringBuilder contentBuilder = new StringBuilder();
try {
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("mypage.html"));
    String str;
    while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
        contentBuilder.append(str);
    }
    in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
String content = contentBuilder.toString();
