Sure, APIs are written in many languages. JSON is just a format for data exchange, bunch of nested brackets etc.

I recommend the site learnxinyminutes.com -- great resource for a quick look at the syntax and major features of languages. Here's the page for JSON, in fact: https://learnxinyminutes.com/json/
