Would Python be ok even if I want to learn how JSON API calls work?

I’m sure my questions are showing my knowledge level. 🤣

I work with an engineering team that uses JSON a lot for backend API calls. I’m an analyst, so I want to get a better understanding of the API side of things and also be able to use the API for some of my work. So I want to get a base knowledge of the format/syntax.

Also JS is pervasive on the web built into all browsers and on the personal hobby side I’d like to build a blog hosted on GitHub without relying on Claude Code.

I’m not a kid, but was told this JS kids book could be a good even for adults new to coding.
