<dt>Platform specific & Environment specific variables.</dt>
<dd>
You might need to specify different data variables based on your environment. For example, you might want to use a localhost API endpoint during development and a production API endpoint once the extension is submitted to the appstore. You can specify such data in the json files inside `config` directory.
You can also set custom data variables based on the platform (different variable for Chrome, FF, Opera).
