So are there tools that help establish that agreement between languages? Or does that agreement already exist?

Those agreements are called communication protocols

@namarino If you are using a well defined agreement (IE protocol) then you typically have library calls that do the heavy lifting for you. EG to post JSON back to a server see this C# example stackoverflow.com/a/10027534/31326 which is coded at high level (Java would be similar). But this implicitly assumes that there is a server at the other end that speaks HTTP and accepts POST messages. That sort of agreement is something you have to specify at a system design level. It's only if you are writing new language or a new protocol that you have to do it all yourself.
