Convert Input Stream to String in Java

import java.io.*;
public class InputStreamString {
  
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
         InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream("Hello World!".getBytes());
         StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
         String line;
  
         BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
         while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
             sb.append(line);
         }
         br.close();
         System.out.println(sb);
    }
} 

Hello World!

• This program deals with the transformation of a text stream of characters into a string by employing InputStreamReader.
• In the first statement of main function, byte sequence/ stream of string “Hello World!” is obtained via ByteArrayInputStream() function and is contained in ‘stream’ variable.
• The next step is to employ StringBuilder() function to convert the contents of ‘stream’ into a modifiable array of characters.
• The very next step involves reading those contents stored in stream, for that purpose first InputStreamReader() converts byte sequence of ‘stream’ into characters; then ‘stream’ is read using BufferedReader().
• InputStream is read line by line through while loop; also during each iteration those lines are appended to string builder object sb.
• After that buffer is closed and result is displayed on the console.
• In order to avoid any invalid input, IOException has been employed.
