The programming languages are more predictable than human. So the rules are much easier to be "compressed" after they're basically detected when fed with big data. Your two examples imho are easily interchangeable during follow-up conversation with a decent LLM. Tested this with the following prompt and fed a c fragment and an SQL-fragment, got in both cases something like your first one

> Please convert the following fragment of a programming language (auto-detect) into a json-like parsing information when language construct is represented like an object, fixed branches are represented like properties and iterative clauses (statement list for example) as array.
