View Source Dict (Elixir v1.18.0)

This module is deprecated. Use Map or Keyword modules instead.

Generic API for dictionaries.

If you need a general dictionary, use the Map module. If you need to manipulate keyword lists, use Keyword.

To convert maps into keywords and vice-versa, use the new function in the respective modules.
