One my way to work with twitter data and their annotation, it seems I will have to know quite a bit of atleast some technologies that are used to serialize data, the earlier man used JSON, so I have to peek into JSON stuff in order to get a hang of it.
JSON , is Java Script Object Notation, much like XML its used to seralize objects, in my case he has used it to parse the csv seperated data, in order to generate objects that can be rather decently accessed.
One good advantage of JSON over XML is that JSON is very light weight, in that you essentially avoid the tagging process that goes on with XML, so var v={ "name":"Nikhil","game":["khokho","dharma-guru"] } and var obj=eval(v), instantly creates an object that you can access with member-of "." operator, obj.name would then return my name.
