S-exps are "just" data structures, so that you are reading s-exps when you see other data-structures presented is no surprise.

This is easy to identify: nearly all json is just atoms thought- very few json definitions encode any kind of machine-works or program-code.

So, to put it another way: it amazes you how all Lisp looks like data structures. And hopefully I've helped let you know why you are so amazed here, thanks for reading.
