Online bookmark manager which has characteristics like a file system. Allows you organise bookmark into folders. Support bookmarking links, location and text files!
MyBookmark Explorer (MBExplorer) is an online bookmark manager that can be used to store your favourite items. There are three types of bookmark items that can be added: (1) links (2) text files, and (3) locations. A user can create folders and sub-folders and uses them to organize items.
Hosted on a FREE tier server - http://mbexplorer.apphb.com/
a) Displays the folder structure in a TreeView. b) Allows you to create, edit and delete folders from the TreeView. c) TreeView is refreshed when the folder structure changes.
a) Allows you to create, view, edit and delete bookmark items inside a folder from the TreeView. Apart from the operations with folders, the user is be able to create bookmark items. There are three kinds of items: (1) Links, (2) Text files, and (3) Locations.
- Link - Displays title and URL
- Text file - Displays title and plain text content
- Location Displays place name and its GPS coordinate and locations displayed on Google Map
a) User is a able to lock/unlock folder – recursively set/unset read-only attribute for all items and its sub-folders.
- No item can be added to the folder when set to ready-only.
- An item becomes not editable when it is read-only. g) User is able to search folders/items, filter by item types and keywords (title and content) h) Use is able to move folders/items.
- Since a bookmark manager has a file system charectaristics, I had to use recursion to build up structure.
- Database uses Adjacency List so folders and bookmark items have a parent Id column which refers to ther parents.
MBExplorer allows users to create and edit bookmark folders, as well as organise them into a hierarchy.
(a) GET /service/create?folder=Romance&parent=Documents|Books|Fiction
Add a new bookmark folder to an existing folder. This request returns true if the operation is successful, otherwise false are returned (if a folder with the given name already exists or the parent folder does not exist). If the parent folder is not explicitly specified then the folder to be added will become a top-level folder. Consider the example above. This request will create a new folder called Romance inside /Documents/Books/Fiction folder.

The request returns true if the operation is successful, otherwise false is returned.

This service constructs a sub-folder from the given string. For example, the above GET request adds a subtree hierarchy to the “Documents” folder. The service returns true if the operation is successful, otherwise false is returned. Uses a a simple string parser using a stack.
