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).
