Safari Bookmarks plist reader
Reads Safari's Bookmarks.plist. This includes bookmarks as well as the
reading list.
What, why, ...?
I wanted to be able to add stuff to the Safari reading list on iOS, then keep track of it somewhere outside iCloud, by relying on the sync to macOS, then reading it there.
Set-up
Recent macOS versions won't let you read from ~/Library/Safari (a good thing
for security), you'll see this:
$ cp Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist /tmp
cp: Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist: Operation not permitted
Fix it by adding the application (i.e. macOS level application, so maybe your terminal app) to "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy, like this:
(Yes, doing this means something running in your terminal can steal your
cookies now. Be careful with your curl ... | sh commands again.)
Development notes
Use plutil -convert xml1 for a quick way to get a readable file (see also ply in go-plist).
No tests, will probably break when Apple change the format of the bookmarks file anyway.
