How can I get certain bookmark folders from a backup json file ? I don't want to restore everything.

For example my Work bookmarks don't need to be same as home bookmarks, but I may need some of them. I can't copy paste each one manually.

Thanks in advance

You would have to use an HTML backup to be able to import only selected bookmarks/folders.

You can look at this tool to inspect a compressed jsonlz4 bookmarks backup and create an HTML backup. You will have to copy the wanted bookmarks from this backup to another file and import this file.

Thanks, making an html file and importing that did the trick. I was afraid it could delete my current bookmarks but it didn't.
