What is the alternative to deprecated the FileUtils.writeStringToFile method?

I need to write a content to file in a single statement something like FileUtils.writeStringToFile.

Is there any alternative to it since it is deprecated?

By going through this documentation, It states that:

Deprecated. 2.5 use writeStringToFile(File, String, Charset) instead Writes a String to a file creating the file if it does not exist using the default encoding for the VM. 

You can follow this example:

final File file = new File(getTestDirectory(), "file_name.txt"); FileUtils.writeStringToFile(file, "content", "ISO-8859-1"); 

You can pass (String) null in your argument if you don't want to pass the encoding.

For more information, you can go through the link: Usage link

Use this one

File file = ... String data = ... try{ FileUtils.writeStringToFile(file, data, Charset.defaultCharset()); }catch(IOException e){ e.printStackTrace(); } 

You can use Files from the Java standard library aswell - unless you need to use apache commons.

import java.io.IOException; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.nio.file.Paths; import java.nio.file.StandardOpenOption; // to write to your file use try { // To overwrite Files.write(Paths.get("Your\\path"), "YourString".getBytes(), StandardOpenOption.TRUNCATE_EXISTING, StandardOpenOption.CREATE); // To append to the file Files.write(Paths.get("Your\\path"), "YourString".getBytes(), StandardOpenOption.WRITE, StandardOpenOption.CREATE); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } 

The fix is to add Charset.defaultCharset() as the 3rd argument.

E.g. change from

writeStringToFile(file, data) 

to

writeStringToFile(file, data, Charset.defaultCharset()) 

Source:

The documentation says:

Deprecated. 2.5 use writeStringToFile(File, String, Charset) instead

The source code for the deprecated function is:

 @Deprecated public static void writeStringToFile(final File file, final String data) throws IOException { writeStringToFile(file, data, Charset.defaultCharset(), false); } 

Have a look From your question I think you are searching option for FileUtils.writeStringToFile.
