I am quite new to Java, and I am trying to read a file into a string (or should I use byte arrays for this?). File can be anything, such as a text file or executable file etc. I will compress what I read and write it to another file.I am thinking of using this code:public static String readFile(File f) {    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();    try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f))) {        String sCurrentLine;        while ((sCurrentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {            sb.append(sCurrentLine);        }    } catch (IOException e) {        System.err.println(I/O Exception: + e.getMessage());        return null;    }    return sb.toString();}Does this look good to you? I was reading Reading and writing text files and I was a little bit confused over all the different ways one can use to read files.
