I had gone through the below post on StackOverflow and I know where the chrome extensions are saved in the directory path, in MAC

Where to find extensions installed folder for Google Chrome on Mac?

But my question was, the directory path usually ends into the directory (which has several files and subdirectories)

Which file under this gives me the actual name of the Extension and its version?

For example say jifpbeccnghkjeaalbbjmodiffmgedin is the extension id folder under /Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/. Which exact file should I look inside here to know the name and version of the extension ?

I need this to write a script , so please don't give GUI based solution. I need it on CLI

    It's inside manifest.json but beware the `"name"` field may contain a special token like `__MSG_something__` that links to `something` inside messages.json file in a corresponding _locales subdirectory. – wOxxOm Apr 15 '19 at 14:10

You are looking for manifest.json in that file you will find all information about chrome extension 

/Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/hash_of_your_selected_extenstion/manifest.json
