In addition to the database, you will find several GeoJson files in the geojson folder:
problems.geojsonareas.geojsonclusters.geojsoncircuits.geojson
These files contain only the geographic information plus a few basic fields. You need the database to get the rest.
Recommended tool to view/edit geojson files: JOSM
If you have any question, we'd be happy to hear from you!
