What is a manifest.json file, and where can I find it on my machine?

I assume that i开发者_如何学Got is for chrome. I have read that I can set the permissions in that file to avoid XSS errors while developing.

There are many json files for your chrome experience from Native chrome json files to json files for chrome extensions. Most of them can be found at

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\

Most manifest.json files are found for extensions in

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions

In linux mine are located in .config directory:

./.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/bjnkloegafmkhgpjglcbldhaokjpandj/1.0.0.0_0/manifest.json
./.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/gbammbheopgpmaagmckhpjbfgdfkpadb/1.9.1.8_0/manifest.json
./.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/aknpkdffaafgjchaibgeefbgmgeghloj/1.1.2.1_0/_locales/ar/messages.json
./.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/aknpkdffaafgjchaibgeefbgmgeghloj/1.1.2.1_0/_locales/zh-TW/messages.json
./.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/aknpkdffaafgjchaibgeefbgmgeghloj/1.1.2.1_0/_locales/es-419/messages.json
./.config/transmission/settings.json
./.config/transmission/stats.json

For the mac it's located here:

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions
