How to Deserialize in Boo language

Question

Why does the second line give an error?

items = serializer.DeserializeObject(json)
value = items ["key"]

Error: Type 'object' does not support slicing. (BCE0048)

I tried various ways to indicate that "items" is a dictionary, to no avail.

Answer 1

Solution:

items as Dictionary [of string, object] = serializer.DeserializeObject(json)
