Is parsing remote JSON a client/server application?

Question

Mobile development

In my understanding, a client-server application is something like a chat.
Perhaps this is the most stupid question, but still ... I want to clarify and finally put an end to this issue for myself.
There is an application (for example, news). It parses JSON.
Accordingly, the application itself has a list of news. News activity and more.
Over time, I plan to add comments to the news (still the same JSON parse and output).
Is this application client-server ?

Answer 1

There is a client, there is a server, which means client-server, but usually they only talk about TCP / IP, then the server part is completely written by you, and not an outside server and not even ready-made Apache / nginx. What you need it for, the answer depends on it.

Answer 2

the concept of client-server appeared before the Internet, so it all depends on the specifics
