JSON is a data format

Definition is easy. Cut and pasted from JSON.org { JSON is built on two structures:
These are universal data structures. Virtually all modern programming languages support them in one form or another. It makes sense that a data format that is interchangeable with programming languages also be based on these structures. } The last sentence in the above definition begs a number of questions. 1. Does it then follow that a data format should ONLY be based on those 2 structures. 2. If a data format such as XML, or RDF deals has programming language support for the data structures they deal in why should JSON supplant such formats and their usage. 3. A relational database is not a programming language and a relation is neither collection of name/value pairs nor an ordered list. So why should my relational database speak JSON.
