Overview

This class stores the information about attributes. It stores the name, locations and type, and it is responsible for retrieving the attribute values from Flickr’s JSON response, and optionally coercing them to the right type (for example, time can be represented in JSON only as a string, and here we convert it to actual instance of Ruby’s ‘Time` class).
