Back in the early 00’s json wasn’t winning because it was derived from JavaScript, it was winning because it was the “easiest to use” standard on web services.
Sure it’s derived from JavaScript and it plays a major part in frontend development today. It was really the other way around though, when Ajax picked up people started realising that they could use json to make frontends work with “just” html and JavaScript.
