since: 2.1.1

#### Declaration [src]

    GRefString*
    fwupd_json_object_get_string (
      FwupdJsonObject* self,
      const gchar* key,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Gets a string from a JSON object. An error is returned if `key` is not the correct type.

Available since: 2.1.1

This method is not directly available to language bindings.

#### Parameters

`key`

  Type: `const gchar*`

  Dictionary key.

  The data is owned by the caller of the method.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the method if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `GRefString`

A `GRefString`, or `NULL` on error.

The returned data is owned by the instance.
