Read content of a local file with chrome extension

Question

I am developing an extension for the chrome browser. I use the KangoExtensions framework. The extension is written in JavaScript. I want to read the content of a file, which is located on the local filesystem. What is the easiest way to implement this?

如果您已经知道文件系统中文件的路径，则只需在清单文件中添加对file://*的权限，然后对url file://{filepath}进行GET XMLHttpRequest即可。
