Hi Nate. You can use either XML or JSON in your Chrome extension, it's up to you.
JavaScript recently introduced a native JSON object (in 1.7 I think) to convert between strings of JSON and JavaScript objects without resorting to an external library. Because of this, and because JSON is JavaScript, JSON is a **lot** easier to work with than XML. Incidentally, if you want to convert from XML to JSON, this is a neat lib: http://www.terracoder.com/index.php/xml-objectifier/xml-objectifier-introduction. The only place you must use JSON is in the manifest.json file.
