# Parse bookmarks files

This library can parse formats listed below:

- Netscape Bookmarks(Firefox, Google Chrome, ...)

- Pocket(http://getpocket.com)

## Installation

`npm install bookmarks-parser`

Example:

```javascript

var parse = require("bookmarks-parser");

parse('Pocket Export
Unread
'+

      '
Example!
', function(err, res) {

  console.log(err);

  console.log(res.parser);

  console.log(res.bookmarks);

});


```

`parse` function receives two parameters - text of a exported bookmarks file and callback.

Second parameter returned in the callback is an object with fields:

- `parser` - `netscape` or `pocket`

- `bookmarks` - an array of parsed bookmarks

Each bookmark is an object with fields:

- `type` - `folder` or `bookmark`

- `title` - title of a bookmark or a folder

- `url` - URL only for bookmarks

- `children` - array of children bookmarks, only for folders

- `ns_root` - if the folder is a root this field will contain one of the values: `menu`, `toolbar`, `unsorted`, otherwise `null`. Applicable only for `netscape` parser.

If you have found out any bugs or have any questions please feel free to submit it into the issues.
