6,835 PointsWhat is [String: AnyObject]
I'm not sure what this piece of code is implying. I know what a string is but I'm not sure what AnyObject means. The documentation I read is kind of confusing and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this for me ?

When working with Cocoa APIs, it is common to receive an array with a type of [AnyObject], or “an array of values of any object type”. This is because Objective-C does not have explicitly typed arrays.
