<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
Bookmark file parser

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
#GBookmarkFile lets you parse, edit or create files containing bookmarks
to URI, along with some meta-data about the resource pointed by the URI like
its MIME type, the application that is registering the bookmark and the
icon that should be used to represent the bookmark. The data is stored using
the
<ulink url="http://www.gnome.org/~ebassi/bookmark-spec">Desktop Bookmark
Specification</ulink>.
</para>

<para>
The syntax of the bookmark files is described in detail inside the Desktop
Bookmark Specification, here is a quick summary: bookmark files use a sub-class
of the
<ulink url="">XML Bookmark Exchange Language</ulink> specification, consisting
of valid UTF-8 encoded XML, under the <literal>xbel</literal> root element;
each bookmark is stored inside a <literal>bookmark</literal> element, using
its URI: no relative paths can be used inside a bookmark file. The bookmark
may have a user defined title and description, to be used instead of the URI.
Under the <literal>metadata</literal> element, with its <literal>owner</literal>
attribute set to <literal>http://freedesktop.org</literal>, is stored the
meta-data about a resource pointed by its URI. The meta-data consists of
the resource's MIME type; the applications that have registered a bookmark;
the groups to which a bookmark belongs to; a visibility flag, used to set
the bookmark as "private" to the applications and groups that has it
registered; the URI and MIME type of an icon, to be used when displaying the
bookmark inside a GUI.

<para>
A bookmark file might contain more than one bookmark; each bookmark is accessed
through its URI.
</para>

<para>
The important caveat of bookmark files is that when you add a new bookmark you
must also add the application that is registering it, using
g_bookmark_file_add_application() or g_bookmark_file_set_app_info(). If a
bookmark has no applications then it won't be dumped when creating the
on disk representation, using g_bookmark_file_to_data() or
g_bookmark_file_to_file().
</para>
