javascript - Save data table like for chrome extension

Question

first timer here,

I am working on a chrome extension that has to use quite a lot of data. At the moment I am getting the data from a wiki each time the user starts a new session so they always use the latest data. I convert this data into an array of objects and save them to sessionStorage. Now this works fine but I am completely relying on the wiki at the moment. I would like to have fallback data that comes with the extension natively. How do I go about this? I imagine to have a database table like file that I can put all the data into and if needed it is read by the extension.

Basically since I would need it for other uses as well a database which I could query locally from within the extension would be really neat.

I know about chrome's storage api/localStorage but since these are only key:value storages it only works with some extra effort and it feels like it isn't exactly made for what I am trying to do.
