Since some of the chrome user-data is not saved as sqlite3-database, you will have notice also the json-format for files.
JSON is the javascript object notation and since chrome has a very fast javascript engine called V8, why shouldn't use the notation for datastorage, too? :)
We'll have a short information about what files are in the user-data directory, which are encoded as json-files.
