My bookmarks have grown like Topsy I have many duplicates and the
tree structure is a mess. I have two primary goals: 1. find and purge
duplicates. 2. move folders around to create a more reasonable
structure.
After trying several approaches and looking for useful tools I found
jq [https://stedolan.github.io/jq/]. One related page I found is
titled "jq is sed for JSON".
An outline of a possible procedure might be:
1. Export SeaMonkey bookmarks in JSON format.
2. use jq to pretty print the JSON. It does so nicely.
3. Find duplicate targets and delete all but one.
4. Each leaf of the bookmark tree is an object. Move these objects >around to
create a more friendly tree.
5. Import the clean organized bookmarks.
Has anyone done this? Is there a friendly in depth jq tutorial? The
ones I've found tend to be on the "Hello world" level. There is just
enough to tantalize.

Richard, you have my attention! About a month ago, I asked, here, about
sorting out duplicate, or even triplicate, entries in the Bookmarks folder.
I've got zero experience with JSON, but will be interested in any
discussion here!
