Usage

Parsing Bookmarks

Export your Chrome bookmarks to an HTML file and use the parse command:

./bookmark-parser parse -file path/to/bookmarks.html

Searching Bookmarks

Search through your parsed bookmarks:

./bookmark-parser search -query "search term"

The search will look for matches in both the title and URL of bookmarks.

Validating Bookmarks

Check for dead links and redirects in your bookmarks:

./bookmark-parser validate

This will generate a validation report in the output/validation_report.txt file with statistics about valid URLs, dead links, and redirects.

Exporting Bookmarks

Export your bookmarks based on their status:

./bookmark-parser export

This will create three files in the output directory:

• bookmarks.html: Valid bookmarks that are working correctly
• dead-links.html: Bookmarks that are no longer accessible
• redirects.html: Bookmarks that redirect to different URLs

All exported files maintain the original folder structure and can be imported back into Chrome.
