title: Is JSON a language, if not how would it be classified?
body: <p>Considering <strong>JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)</strong>, is <strong>JSON</strong> itself a language, or is it only defined in context of another language?  By language, I mean a programming language that might be using JSON to transmit/receive data.</p>
  
  <p>It is interesting that <strong>XML</strong> is not Turing complete, yet has <em>language</em> in its name.  Perhaps this implies a broader definition of language for this purpose?</p>
