That data is in
JSON format, a common data format used by web APIs. Applications can send a HTTP request to that URL to get that list of AddOns by a particular author and then do something with the data. The details URL in each AddOn's entry appears to return an empty response, so it looks like Dolby hasn't finished that part of the API yet.
Since it's returning a list of your own AddOns without the author being specified in the URL, I'd guess that it uses the session cookie sent along with the request to determine which author's AddOns to return.
