I puzzled over the choice of "application" first but can think of a couple reasons "application" could be more natural. JSON is expressed in JavaScript. JavaScript is distributed as text not is some unreadable compiled binary. If it could be distributed in a small compiled form it surely would and so "application" would be more clearly appropriate. JSON is expressed in JavaScript. JavaScript is a programming language that describes behavior aspect of a web page. Behavior is in the application realm.
