# Bookmark Exporter
[](https://github.com/jlyonsmith/bookmark_exporter/blob/main/coverage.json)
[](https://crates.io/crates/bookmark_exporter)
[](https://docs.rs/bookmark_exporter)This is a basic CLI bookmark exporter tool.
Currently the following browsers are supported:
| Browser | Argument | Description |
| ------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Firefox | `--firefox` | Firefox uses a SQLite database so *the browser must be closed to do the export.* |
| Chrome | `--chrome` | Chrome uses a JSON file and the export can be run with the browser open. You may
still want to close it if you have recently added bookmarks. |The tool has been tested on:
- macOS
If you want additional functionality, please add it and make a pull request.
## Formatting
The tool dumps bookmark information to `stdout` in line pairs; title followed by URL. You can format the output as you wish. To format as markdown links, for example, you could do:
```sh
bookmark-exporter --chrome --firefox | tr -d "\"'" | gxargs -d '\n' -L2 printf "[%s](%s)\n" \"$0\" \"$1\"
```On a Mac this assumes you have installed the GNU version of `xargs`, `gxargs` with `brew install findutils`.
