JSON Schema has an ‘if’ construct. That gives JSON a standardised way to do flow control.

I’m still not sure I would call it a programming language. But I wouldn’t say it’s not one.

JSON can be used to write an abstract syntax tree of a program, but the specific grammar used and the way of converting it into a program would be the programming language, not JSON itself.
