What is the modeling language used in the official JSON website's home page here?

Example:

  • FYI - it's a graphical notation, not a modeling language – John Saunders Apr 06 '13 at 18:01
  • Well, the diagram you posted here is called "syntax diagram" – petajamaja Apr 06 '13 at 18:01
  • It seems to be a visualization of *ABNF*, which is used in the JSON RFC (and other RFC's): https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4234.txt. – Felix Kling Apr 06 '13 at 18:01

    To be fair, I added the image. Maybe it was too much editing from my side, but since the OP explicitly referred to the website, I figured he meant those images. Please correct me if I'm wrong. – Felix Kling Apr 06 '13 at 18:03

This isn't modelling.

It is documentation.

This style is called a railroad or syntax diagram.
