I have built a chrome extension which require data from a configuration file. I achieved it through NPAPI plugin but now I have to use PPAPI since Chrome is going to discontinue it Jan, 2014 onwards. Is it possible to load a file in PPAPI. If not, How to do this task through PPAPI?
For security reasons, you can't load general files from the disk. If you want to store some data on disk, you can use the PPAPI File I/O routines to read and write from files in the domain-isolated filesystem Chrome maintains (shared with the HTML5 filesystem APIs).
Sadly, this will be more complicated than the simple C++ file I/O routines you're probably used to. I believe there should be some examples of doing file I/O in the Native Client SDK.
