Accessing the Whole BooKmark Using Chrome API

[Viren Negi]

Hello
I am new in Developing Chrome Extension I'm in need to access
bookmarks using Chrome API
1. In the Google Chrome Extension Documentation there is mention of
"chrome.bookmarks.getTree " but it some seem to return a function and
not actual bookmarks or bookmark object.

2. I'm also running into permission error for using the above API
(chrome.bookmarks.getTree) in background.html , even though the
permission is firmly given in manifest.json file

{
"name" : "Sync BookMark",
"background_page": "background.html",
"version" : "1.0",
"content_script" : {
"css" : ["bookmark.css"],
"js" : ["js/jquery.js","js/bookmark.js"]

},
"browser_action" : {
"default_icon" : "images/bookmark.png",
"default_title" : "Syn Bookmark",
"default_popup" : "bookmark.html"
},
"permission" : [
"bookmarks",
"management",
"experimental",
"contextMenu",
"unlimitedStorage",
"tab"

]
}

3. Is there a "callback" available to find out that user(overall) has
added or remove a bookmark from the chrome browser
Any One There Please Share some Light on it

(Nearly?) every method within the extension system is asynchronous, which means that the last parameter you specify is almost always a callback function (in case you need to get something or be notified that the operation is finished).

Specify that callback function and you will get the bookmark tree as an argument.

For example, open the Developer Tools for your background page and run this -

chrome.bookmarks.getTree(function(){console.log(arguments)}

You should see that everything is there.

 },
 "browser_action"  :  {
   "default_icon"  :  "images/bookmark.png",
   "default_title" :  "Syn Bookmark",
   "default_popup" :  "bookmark.html"
 },
 "permission" : [
   "bookmarks",
   "management",
   "experimental",
   "contextMenu",
   "unlimitedStorage",
   "tab"

 ]
}

You have a typo. "permission" should be "permissions".

Unless you are talking about bookmark events, I am not sure what functionality you are need.
