Hello,
Are there any rules of thumb that one can use to choose between Dictionaries and Mutable structs? I am trying to understand when is it better to choose one over other, since I think both can be used in some cases.
Thank you.
Do you have a small fixed amount of data with known names and types? Then you may want a mutable struct. Do you have a large amount of data with variable names and either unknown type or all the same type? Then you may want a dictionary. Mutable structs are also much smaller and more efficient than dictionaries. There are certainly cases where you could use either one.

Thanks very much for these pointers. That makes it easy to decide in my case.
