Using Google Chrome extensions to import/export JSON files?
<p>I'm creating a Google Chrome extension at the moment and I was wondering if it's possible for it to both create JSON files to download (<em>export</em>) and create a button where users can make the extension open and parse JSON files that they have saved in their local file system or on a USB stick (<em>import</em>)? </p>

<p>The parsing of each JSON from the local file system would simply involve reading off each key-value pair and doing something with the data. It would only have to deal with strings, so nothing complicated. </p>

<p>**EDIT: **My question is not a duplicate of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8218890/chrome-extension-html-filesystem-access">this one</a> because I'm not interested in changing the user's download path. All I want is to enable them to, with their consent, download a file to their normal download directory (which Filesaver.js can do). Plus, that post says nothing about importing.</p>
