The NSDictionary class declares the programmatic interface to objects that manage immutable associations of keys and values. Use this class or its subclass NSMutableDictionary when you need a convenient and efficient way to retrieve data associated with an arbitrary key. NSDictionary creates static dictionaries, and NSMutableDictionary creates dynamic dictionaries. (For convenience, we use the term dictionary to refer to any instance of one of these classes without specifying its exact class membership.)
A key-value pair within a dictionary is called an entry. Each entry consists of one object that represents the key and a second object that is that key's value. Within a dictionary, the keys are unique. That is, no two keys in a single dictionary are equal. In general, a key can be any object, but note that when using key-value coding the key must be a string.
