Question

I have a Google Chrome Bookmark file, and it’s in JSON format

{
   "checksum": "b884cbfb1a6697fa9b9eea9cb2054183",
   "roots": {
      "bookmark_bar": {
         "children": [ {
            "date_added": "12989159740428363",
            "id": "4",
            "name": "test2",
            "type": "url",
            "url": "chrome://bookmarks/#1"
         } ],
         "date_added": "12989159700896551",
         "date_modified": "12989159740428363",
         "id": "1",
         "name": "bookmark_bar",
         "type": "folder"
      },
      "other": {
         "children": [ {
            "date_added": "12989159740428363",
            "id": "4",
            "name": "test",
            "type": "url",
            "url": "chrome://bookmarks/#1"
         } ],
         "date_added": "12989159700896557",
         "date_modified": "0",
         "id": "2",
         "name": "aaa",
         "type": "folder"
      },
      "synced": {
         "children": [  ],
         "date_added": "12989159700896558",
         "date_modified": "0",
         "id": "3",
         "name": "bbb",
         "type": "folder"
      }
   },
   "version": 1
}

and in Python format:

{'checksum': 'b884cbfb1a6697fa9b9eea9cb2054183', 'version': 1, 'roots': {'synced': {'name': 'bbb', 'date_modified': '0', 'children': [], 'date_added': '12989159700896558', 'type': 'folder', 'id': '3'}, 'bookmark_bar': {'name': 'bookmark_bar', 'date_modified': '12989159740428363', 'children': [{'url': 'chrome://bookmarks/#1', 'date_added': '12989159740428363', 'type': 'url', 'id': '4', 'name': 'test2'}], 'date_added': '12989159700896551', 'type': 'folder', 'id': '1'}, 'other': {'name': 'aaa', 'date_modified': '0', 'children': [{'url': 'chrome://bookmarks/#1', 'date_added': '12989159740428363', 'type': 'url', 'id': '4', 'name': 'test'}], 'date_added': '12989159700896557', 'type': 'folder', 'id': '2'}}}

I’m writing a bookmark manager now.
I want to move the web pages by name.
For example: mv /bookmark_bar/test2 /other/test2

But every web pages are dictionaries, and they are in a list. So, I must use index to locate the web pages, I can’t locate them by name.

Any ideas?
