<p>STEW uses JSON (instead of XML, for example) because JSON text can easily be converted into JavaScript objects using the <code>eval()</code> function which invokes the JavaScript compiler. JSON is a subset of JavaScript, and therefore the compiler correctly parses the text and produces an object structure.  For more information about JSON, see the <a href="http://www.json.org" target="_blank">JSON Web site</a>. Requests are made to Twitter <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer" target="_blank">REST</a> APIs by using the <code>XMLHttpRequest</code> object. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLHttpRequest" target="_blank"><code>XMLHttpRequest</code></a> is a DOM API that can be used in JavaScript to transfer text data between a server and a browser.</p>
