Basically I want to use the bookmarks application without the current interface, I just want the data. To post/put bookmarks for a user, to query and get it out etc. but to reuse as much as possible of the current Bookmarks application, because I am lazy and pressed for time.
So I was wondering if there are some tutorials on interacting with the data, not querying the data because I can see there is that but stuff like this from the bookmarks faq: ---------------------------- How do I import my bookmarks from other applications? You can include any bookmarks from Firefox, Internet Explorer or any book marking system. First, you must save your bookmarks from the other application to a file. Then to import your bookmarks, select the "Import" ICON and then browse to the location of the file and select this file containing the exported bookmarks. --------------------------- rewritten with select the "Import" ICON replaced with something like, start up curl and Post the contents of your XML file to the following URL..... I guess I can try to find out all that stuff by running the application and tracing what happens, and comparing it with what is in the VAD file but that is sort of difficult, it would be preferable that there was a description of the REST interface or some other interface (other than GUI) to do these things. Aside from this I am wondering about VAD files, is there a specification for these somewhere (all I find by googling is the description of them as a package format and the acronym)? When I open them in my text editor they look like basically an aggregation of text documents, XML files, XSL-T files, Sparql queries etc. But according to the top of the document - This file consists of binary data and should not be touched by hands - what is the purpose of having it binary, if I want to create my own VADs where is the spec?
