How to best understand a SVG file

Hi all,

I need to understand a SVG file in order to parse it and be able to save it 
on my own internal vector graphics format.
What is the best way to go about it?
The autotrace produces a  svgz file that is a compacted svg file.How can I 
unpack it, so it will be numeric and like an XML file again?
Thanks,

Alice

SVGZ file is only gzip format of xml/svg text file.
Just use any gzip extractor, it will return to normal xml file again
