DeliciousExport

The social bookmarking service Delicious (del.icio.us) was acquired by Pinboard (see blog post) and is in read-only mode now. You can export your delicious bookmarks and save them in a HTML file. This script parses those files.

Features

• Backup private bookmarks (or exclude them)
• Create a structured HTML file
• Generate JSON file with PHP
• Split tags which were accidentally separated with whitespaces
• Include or exclude bookmark notes/descriptions
• Sort tags by size or name
• Include bookmarks without tags
• Specify the format of date/time
• Adapt templates or extend PHP classes (no private methods)

Examples

Preparation

• Install PHP.
• Download the latest DeliciousExport release at GitHub
  Decompress the ZIP-file.
• Download your bookmarks at del.icio.us/export.
  Copy the downloaded delicious.html into the folder src.
• Create a file run.php with an example code below and store it in the folder src.
  Open the console (Windows: Press [Win] + [R], enter cmd).
  Navigate to the src directory and enter php run.php.

Create structured HTML bookmarks file

<?php
require_once 'HtmlParser.php';
require_once 'Generator.php';

$parser = new Adibaba\DeliciousExport\HtmlParser('delicious.html');
$parser->parse();

$generator = new Adibaba\DeliciousExport\Generator();
$generator->setHtmlParser($parser);
file_put_contents('bookmarks.html', $generator->generate());
?>

Create JSON bookmarks file

<?php
require_once 'HtmlParser.php';
$parser = new Adibaba\DeliciousExport\HtmlParser('delicious.html');
file_put_contents('bookmarks.json', json_encode($parser->parse()->getBookmarks()));
?>

Option for HTML parser: Split tags

A tag 'php code' will become two tags 'php' and 'code'.

<?php
require_once 'HtmlParser.php';
$parser = new Adibaba\DeliciousExport\HtmlParser('delicious.html');
$parser->setSplitTags(true);
file_put_contents('bookmarks.json', json_encode($parser->parse()->getBookmarks()));
?>

Options for HTML Generator

The following options are defaults.

<?php
require_once 'HtmlParser.php';
require_once 'Generator.php';

$parser = new Adibaba\DeliciousExport\HtmlParser('delicious.html');
$parser->parse();

$generator = new Adibaba\DeliciousExport\Generator();
$generator->setHtmlParser($parser)

// Templates
->setTemplateMain('./templateMain.htm')
->setTemplateTag('<li><a href="#_TAG_">_TAG_<span>_TAG_SIZE_</span></a></li>', false)
->setTemplateCollection('<h1 id="_TAG_">_TAG_</h1><ul>_BOOKMARKS_</ul>', false)
->setTemplateBookmark('./templateBookmark.htm')
->setTemplateBookmarkNote('<pre>_BOOKMARK_NOTE_</pre>', false)
->setTemplateBookmarkTag('<span><a href="#_BOOKMARK_TAG_">_BOOKMARK_TAG_</a></span>', false)

// Default tag for bookmarks without specified tag
->setDefaultNoTags('No-Tags')

// Specifies, if bookmark notes/descriptions are added
->setIncludeNotes(true)

// Specifies, if only public bookmarks should be included
->setIncludePrivateBookmarks(true)

// Specifies, if HTML entities should be encoded
->setEncodeHtml(true)

// Sets representation for date/time
->setDateFormat('Y-m-d');

file_put_contents('bookmarks.html', $generator->generate());
?>

Work with PHP objects

<?php
require_once 'HtmlParser.php';
$parser = new Adibaba\DeliciousExport\HtmlParser('delicious.html');
$parser->parse();

// Bookmarks
print_r($parser->getBookmarks());

// Tags, sorted by name
print_r($parser->getTags());

// Tags, sorted by size
print_r($parser->getTags(true));

// Bookmarks without tags
print_r($parser->getBookmarkIdsWithoutTags());
?>
