Google Chrome supports exporting links from the bookmark manager as an HTML file.

It'll be trivial to add a parser for bookmark exports, it just involves adding a new service type and parser.

The HTML export is supported by many browsers and bookmarking services.

Firefox at least also supports exporting bookmarks as JSON ("backup"). I haven't found documentation about the format, but should be fairly straight forward to parse.
