XML Bookmark Exchange Language

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xbel ( Engl. For " Bookmark -Share-language"), abbreviated XBEL is an open XML -based standard for storing and sharing of URIs , also known as bookmarks or favorites (in Internet Explorer ), which the handling of Bookmarks are supposed to simplify. XBEL was created by the Python XML Special Interest Group "to give the world another interesting, fun and useful project" that was "supposed to demonstrate the power of the Python XML Processing Software" at the time.

support

  • So far, only the Linux browsers, Galeon , Konqueror and Arora as well as the multi -platform browser Midori have mastered the XBEL format by default .
  • XBEL bookmark support for Mozilla Firefox is provided by the extensions XBELFox , SyncPlaces and Bookmark Sync and Sort . These allow bookmarks to be saved locally, on HTTP (S) or FTP servers in XBEL format or to be loaded from them. This makes it possible to use and maintain bookmarks on several computers simultaneously.
  • For Firefox Quantum as well as Google Chrome and Opera , the Floccus extension offers the option of using XBEL files and exchanging them via WebDAV (s) (the Nextcloud Bookmarks app is also supported for online use ). This makes it possible to edit and synchronize bookmarks across platforms and browsers.
  • XBEL is used in the stand-alone program XBELicious for unixoid systems , which converts Del.icio.us bookmarks into XBEL format.
