Custom Values in Manifest.json for Chrome Extensions?

Question

Is it allowed to have custom values saved in manifest.json for a Chrome extension? Because it is json, I want to save some information in manifest.json, especially because Chrome API is available for Opera, I need some distinguish data.

Does Chrome store complain if there is any custom data in manifest.json?

Is there a reason you need to put it in the manifest instead of another json file? – Piscatelli

There is non-standard data available for Opera and other Chrome API compatible browsers. So rather than creating different files, I thought to keep distinguish data in manifest.json so that I can have global source code that may work for all browsers. – Moron

No, it's not allowed to use custom values in Chrome Extension manifest.json file. You can refer below given link. @John

You can only use those parameters in manifest.json. If you will use others parameters rather than allowed, it will throw an error at time of importing chrome extension.
