Question by Matt: What programming language is this?
A PC game launcher reads this code to display the game server status. I’d like to use this code in an HTML widget, but I have no clue what kind of code this is. The code is as follows:

refreshContent({“status”:false,”serverStatus”:1,”news”:[{"title":"Summoner Spotlight -- Issue #3","url":"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/node\/1258","date":"11.05.2010"},{"title":"Garen Sale: 50% Off Garen, Sanguine Garen, Desert Trooper Garen, Commando Garen","url":"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/node\/1257","date":"11.05.2010"},{"title":"Skin Sale: 50% Off Guerilla Tristana, Emerald Taric, Jack of Hearts","url":"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/node\/1256","date":"11.03.2010"},{"title":"Riot Games Presents: Battle Training ","url":"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/node\/1255","date":"11.03.2010"},{"title":"The Harrowing Map is Returning! ","url":"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/node\/1254","date":"11.02.2010"}],”community”:[{"title":"LeBlanc, the Deceiver","url":"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/board\/showthread.php?t=319960"},{"title":"LoL Wins 5 Awards at GDC Online!","url":"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/board\/showthread.php?p=3323364"},{"title":"WCG 2010 in Los Angeles","url":"http:\/\/leagueoflegends.com\/wcg2010"},{"title":"Refer a Friend","url":"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/referrals\/invite"},{"title":"Facebook Tristana","url":"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/facebook"}]});
Interesting. Do you know of a way to read the serverstatus part of the code using HTML?

It looks like JSON encoded data.
JSON isn’t a programming language, just an encoding scheme, like XML.
Any language can use it. It’s used extensively by AJAX for web apps written in JavaScript, but there are many, many other uses.

ETA: You can’t “read the serverstatus part of the code using HTML” because HTML isn’t a programming language, it’s a markup language, and it doesn’t have built in support for JSON. You would have to use JavaScript to do that.
