# getString method Null safety

Future<String> getString (

1. String url,
2. {bool? withCredentials,
3. void onProgress(
   1. ProgressEvent e
   )}

)

Creates a GET request for the specified `url`.

This is similar to request but specialized for HTTP GET requests which return text content.

To add query parameters, append them to the `url` following a `?`, joining each key to its value with `=` and separating key-value pairs with `&`.

    var name = Uri.encodeQueryComponent('John');
    var id = Uri.encodeQueryComponent('42');
    HttpRequest.getString('users.json?name=$name&id=$id')
      .then((String resp) {
        // Do something with the response.
    });

## Implementation

    static Future<String> getString(String url,
        {bool? withCredentials, void onProgress(ProgressEvent e)?}) {
      return request(url,
              withCredentials: withCredentials, onProgress: onProgress)
          .then((HttpRequest xhr) => xhr.responseText!);
    }
