How to remove the dictionary element from an array by its name value

Question

I have a list of Array for Name list & url Want to remove from

    func getNameListData() -> [[String: Any]] {
        return [
            [
                "name”: “Jonny”,
                "imageName”: “url.png"
            ],
            [
                "name”: ”Mark”,
                "imageName”: “url.png”
            ],
            [
                "name": “Kiran”,
                "imageName": “url.png”
            ],
            [
                "name": “David”,
                "imageName": “url.png”
            ],
        ]
}

// Get Name List Array

  var nameList = self.getNameListData()

// remove Object at index Value nameList.remove(at: 0) // Remove element for specified element

How to remove element by name value ?

This is what I tried, its not working for me.

if let index = nameList.firstIndex(where: {$0 as? String == "Kiran" }) {
    nameList.remove(at: index)
    }

if there any way for removing an element from array of JSONDictionary i.e [[String:Any]]

It give following warning

Cast from 'JSONDictionary' (aka 'Dictionary<String, Any>') to unrelated type 'String' always fails Cast from 'JSONDictionary' (aka 'Dictionary<String, Any>') to unrelated type 'String' always fails

Result count = 3.

Very close -- right now, you're trying to caste the entire [String:Any] dictionary to String. Instead, you should be looking at just the "name" entry and casting it's value to String to compare to "Kiran".

if let index = nameList.firstIndex(where: {$0["name"] as? String  == "Kiran" }) {
    nameList.remove(at: index)
}
