title: Difference between JSON and SQL
body: <p>I'm a newbie at web development, so here's a simple question. I've been doing a few tutorials in Django, setting up an SQL database, which is all good. I have now come across the JSON format, which I am not fully understanding. The definition on Wikipedia is: <em>It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML</em>. Does this mean that JSON is a database like SQL? If not, what is the difference between SQL and JSON?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
