# bookmarks-to-json

bookmarksToJSON is a no-dependecy, Regex-based pure JS function that takes in the HTML-style code of the bookmarks files exported by browsers like Chrome and Firefox, and converts them into JSON / JS object format with a recursive tree structure.

Bookmarks, folders and subfolders are nested using a `children` property on the folders.

## usage

`npm i bookmarks-to-json`

```js

import fs from 'fs'

import { bookmarksToJSON } from 'bookmarks-to-json'

const content = fs.readFileSync('bookmarks.html', 'utf-8')

const options = { 

  formatJSON: true, // return prettified JSON - false by default

  spaces: 2 // number of spaces to use for indentation - 2 by default

}

fs.writeFileSync('bookmarks.json', bookmarksToJSON(content, options))

```

```json

bookmarks.json

[

  {

    "type": "link",

    "addDate": 1630524312,

    "title": "GitHub",

    "url": "https://github.com/"

  },

  {

    "type": "folder",

    "addDate": 1630524192,

    "lastModified": 1630524211,

    "title": "Bookmarks bar",

    "children": [

      {

        "type": "link",

        "addDate": 1630524211,

        "title": "Lettuce",

        "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9PAXeKHw7Q"

      }

    ]

  }

]

```

```js

import fs from 'fs'

import { bookmarksToJSON } from 'bookmarks-to-json'

const content = fs.readFileSync('bookmarks.html', 'utf-8')

const options = { stringify: false } // returns JS object, not stringified JSON

console.log(bookmarksToJSON(content, options).map(({ title, type }) => ({ title, type })))

// [

//   { title: 'GitHub', type: 'link' },

//   { title: 'Bookmarks bar', type: 'folder' },

// ]

```
