+<h1>Other APIs</h1>
+
+<p>
+In addition to the
+<a href="api_index.html">chrome.* APIs</a>,
+extensions can use all the APIs
+that the browser provides
+to web pages and apps.
+If the browser doesn't support an API you want to use,
+you can bundle additional API libraries into your extension.
+</p>
+
+<p>Here's a sampling of the APIs that extensions can use:</p>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><strong> Standard JavaScript APIs </strong></dt>
+<dd> These are the same core JavaScript and
+  <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_DOM_Reference">Document Object Model</a>
+  (DOM) APIs
+  that you can use in ordinary web apps.
+  
+<!-- Use onclick in your toolbar div to add click behavior.
+E.g. window.open(someUrl). --></dd>
+<dt><strong> XMLHttpRequest </strong></dt>
+<dd>
+  Use <a href="xhr.html">XMLHttpRequest</a>
+  to request data from one or more servers.
+  The <a href="manifest.html#permissions">permissions</a> field
+  of the manifest specifies
+  which hosts the extension can send requests to.
+  </dd>
+<dt> <strong>HTML5 and other emerging APIs</strong></dt>
+<dd> Google Chrome supports HTML5 features,
+     along with other emerging APIs.
+     Here are some of the APIs you can use:
+  <ul>
+  <li> audio
+    (<a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/audio/quick/">tutorial</a>) </li>
+  <li> application cache
+    (<a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/appcache/beginner/">tutorial</a>) </li>
+  <li> canvas
+    (<a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/#canvas">articles</a>) </li>
+  <li> geolocation
+    (<a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/geolocation/trip_meter/">tutorial</a>) </li>
+  <li> local storage
+    (<a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/offline/storage/">tutorial</a>) </li>
+  <li> notifications
+    (<a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/notifications/quick/">tutorial</a>) </li>
+  <li> video
+    (<a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/video/basics/">tutorial</a>) </li>
+  <li> web database
+    (<a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/webdatabase/todo/">tutorial</a>) </li>
+  </ul>
+  <p>
+  See <a href="http://www.html5rocks.com">html5rocks.com</a>
+  for HTML5 information, tutorials, an interactive playground,
+  and links to other resources.
+  </p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt><strong> WebKit APIs </strong></dt>
+<dd>
+  Because Google Chrome is built upon WebKit,
+  your extensions can use WebKit APIs.
+  Especially useful are the experimental CSS features
+  such as filters, animations, and transformations.
+  Here's an example of using WebKit styles
+  to make the UI spin:
+  <pre>&lt;style>
+  div:hover {
+    -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
+    -webkit-transition: all 1s ease-out;
+  }
+&lt;/style>
+</pre>
+  
+</dd>
+<dt><strong> V8 APIs</strong>, such as<strong> JSON </strong></dt>
+<dd> Because JSON is in V8, you don't need to include a JSON library to use JSON functions. </dd>
+<dt><strong>APIs in bundled libraries</strong></dt>
+<dd> If you want to use a library that the browser doesn't provide
+(for example, jQuery),
+you can bundle that library's JavaScript files with your extension.
+Bundled libraries work in extensions
+just as they do in other web pages.
