Relation between EXTJS and JSON

Am new to EXTJS.

Can anyone explain me the relation between EXTJS and JSON. From my understanding, this is what I have understood.

EXTJS is a framework and JSON is one of the many programming languages that can be used in that Framework.

Something similar to .net framework where we can use many programming languages like VB, C++, C#, and so on.

Is this right.

ExtJS is a framework indeed but the language it uses is JavaScript. ExtJS can consume objects expressed in JSON but JSON is NOT a programming language, it's a way to express objects, hence the name JavaScript Object Notation, see here for more information:
