The extension system doesn't mandate any particular style of client/server communication for individual extensions to use. They can use JSON or XML, or some random text format. The system itself does some client/server communication as part of its autoupdate system, but that happens to use XML, not JSON (http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/autoupdate.html). JSON is also used extensively within the system, but not for client/server communication. For example, the manifest that every extension has that declares the features the extension uses is in JSON (http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/manifest.html).
