To add onto these answers you can also easily create a mutable NSMutableDictionary or NSMutableArray using literal syntax as follows:

NSMutableDictionary *dict = [@{@"asdf":@"asdf"} mutableCopy];

NSMutableArray *arr = [@[@"asdf"] mutableCopy];

Very simple, use modern Objective-C literals.

NSDictionary *luca = @{@"name" : @"luca",
                       @"born" : @(1997),
                       @"lives" : @(5)};

NSDictionary *marc = @{@"name" : @"marc",
                       @"born" : @(1998),
                       @"lives" : @(2)};


NSArray *people = @[luca, marc];

Your brief description indicates that you might want a dictionary of dictionaries. However, what you want here is an array of dictionaries or an array of objects.

var people = [ ["name": "Luca", "born": x, "age": y, "lives": z],
                ... ]

or

struct Person {
  var name:String
  var born:Int16
  var age:Int16
  var lives:Int16
}

var array = [Person(name: "Luca", born: x, age: y, lives: z),
             ...]
