  Abele is a Bookmark Exchanging Library and Environment

Currently, this project is being developed only by Claudio Cicali aka FleXer.

What it is

Abele is intended to be a complete framework for managing
and exchanging a particular kind of data: Internet bookmarks.
I think that this kind of data represents an important
resource but its importance is too underestimated.
So I decided to write something more than a simple application,
but a whole set of high level API (not so high though)
that can be used to manage bookmarks and exchange it with
others clients built upon the same application interface.
The APIs have native support for reading and writing a
particular file format that is XBEL (an XML based language).
There is also a support for importing bookmarks in the
Netscape format, and to export in that format too.
More to come, of course.

Status

At the moment the project consists of the API for
reading/managing/exporting and importing bookmarks in the XBEL
format and a prototype of a CLI application (abelesh) used
to testing the peer to peer connection.
