2 <p class="doc-family extensions"> | |
3 Chrome provides APIs such as | |
4 <code>chrome.bookmarks</code> and <code>chrome.tab</code> | |
5 so that extensions can interact with the browser. | |
6 </p> | |
7 | |
8 <p class="doc-family apps"> | |
9 Chrome provides many special-purpose APIs like | |
10 <code>chrome.runtime</code> and <code>chrome.alarms</code> | |
11 to packaged apps. | |
12 </p> | |
13 | |
14 <h2 id="supported">Supported APIs</h2> | |
15 | |
16 <p> | |
17 Here are the supported chrome.* APIs: | |
18 </p> | |
19 | |
20 <ul> | |
21 {{#api_list.chrome}} | |
22 <li><a href="{{name}}.html">{{name}}</a></li> | |
23 {{/}} | |
24 </ul> | |
25 | |
26 <h2 id="experimental">Experimental APIs</h2> | |
27 | |
28 <p> | |
29 Chrome also has | |
30 <a href="experimental.html">experimental APIs</a>, | |
31 some of which will become supported APIs | |
32 in future releases of Chrome. | |
33 </p> | |
34 | |
35 <h2 id="conventions">API conventions</h2> | |
36 | |
37 <p> | |
38 Unless the doc says otherwise, | |
39 methods in the chrome.* APIs are <b>asynchronous</b>: | |
40 they return immediately, | |
41 without waiting for the operation to finish. | |
42 If you need to know the outcome of an operation, | |
43 then you pass a callback function into the method. | |
