    "description":"Let code run in web!",
    "browser_action":{
        "default_icon":"icon.png",

    }
}

Generally, http://jsonlint.com/ can be used to validate any JSON files. 0.5.1 is an invalid value in JSON.

manifest_version has to be an integer, it can take value 1 or 2. Check Documentation.

To specify the version of your Chrome extension, use the "version" key, and quote the value:

{
    "name": "webrun",
    "manifest_version": 2,
    "version": "0.5.1",
    "description": "Let code run in web!",
    "browser_action": {
        "default_icon": "icon.png",
        "default_title": "webrun",
        "default_popup": "index.html"
    }
}
