For a five year old I’d keep it super simple and personally relatable and say it’s like a language that two people speak. Except it’s a computer language that websites speak (I often say websites instead of servers even when speaking to adults).
So like Facebook and Gmail can’t talk to eachother, but Gmail and Hotmail can. (You can probably come up with better examples.)

Great way to explain it at any age.
It’s just language that computers use to talk to other computers.
Consider this : Jabber and gmail/Hotmail do not speak the same language ?
But jabber and WhatsApp can ??
