type 'any' has no subscript members in swift 3

Question

I am getting this error at the line if let arrJson = allContacts["contacts"]

in the below code:

if let arrJson = allContacts["contacts"]     {
            for index in 0...arrJson.count - 1
            {
                let aObject = arrJson[index] as! [String : AnyObject]

                names.append(aObject["name"] as! String)
                contacts.append(aObject["email"] as! String)

                }
            }

Please help me what to do? I have tried this one but not solved this error Type 'Any' Has no Subscript Members in xcode 8 Swift 3

You havent declare type of `allContacts`, try `(allContacts as! [String : Any]).["contacts"]` — Tj3n, Mar 28 '17 at 07:55
I suggest using some framework like SwiftyJSON for parsing json. Using pure swift for this is hell. — Makalele, Mar 28 '17 at 07:58

Try this :

let tempDic = allContacts as! Dictionary<String,Any>
        if let arrJson = tempDic["contacts"]      {

            let arrJson = arrJson as! Array<Dictionary<String,Any>>
            for index in 0...(arrJson).count - 1
            {
                let aObject = arrJson[index] as [String : AnyObject]

                names.append(aObject["name"] as! String)
                contacts.append(aObject["email"] as! String)

            }
        }

You are getting an error b'coz you allContacts not declared as Array, Dictionary or Set (these collection has subscripts).

So what you all need to do is to cast allContacts in appropriate type.

eg.

`allContacts as! Dictionary<AnyHashable, Any>`
`allContacts as! Array<Any>`

JSON dictionaries have always `String` keys by definition. So it's `Dictionary` – vadian Mar 28 '17 at 08:13
