What is the best way to read from files without going through Java.io.File?

Have a look at the static methods on

java.nio.file.Files

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/file/Files.html#readAllBytes(java.nio.file.Path)

There are also some extension methods available for

java.nio.file.Path

introduced in Kotlin 1.4.20 https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2020/11/kotlin-1-4-20-released/#standard-library-changes

Well I was wanting to stay on the hotline side and build it out from input streams but the documentation isn’t there.
