Read from URL 

Google Guava is a java library with lot of utilities and reusable components. This requires the library guava-10.0.jar to be in classpath. The following example shows using Resources.toString() API.

File Name  :  
com/bethecoder/tutorials/guava/io_tests/ReadFromURLTest.java 
Author  :  Sudhakar KV
Email  :  [email protected]
   
package com.bethecoder.tutorials.guava.io_tests;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;

import com.google.common.base.Charsets;
import com.google.common.io.Resources;

public class ReadFromURLTest {

  /**
   @param args
   @throws IOException 
   */
  public static void main(String[] argsthrows IOException {
    URL url = new URL("http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=NASDAQ:MSFT");
    String urlContent = Resources.toString(url, Charsets.UTF_8);
    System.out.println(urlContent);
  }
}
   

It gives the following output,

// [

"id": "358464"
,"t" : "MSFT"
,"e" : "NASDAQ"
,"l" : "24.79"
,"l_cur" : "24.79"
