KMLLoader

KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML-based file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth (originally named "Keyhole Earth Viewer"). It can be used with any 2D or 3D maps.

Structure of Data

The parser will return a JavaScript object with a number of top-level array-valued fields:

Field Description
documents
folders
links
points Points
lines Lines
polygons Polygons
imageoverlays Urls and bounds of bitmap overlays

Parser Options

Work in progress

Option Default Description
useLngLatFormat true KML longitudes and latitudes are specified as [lat, lng]. This option "normalizes" them to [lng, lat].
useColorArrays true Convert color strings to arrays

Limitations

  • Currently XML parsing is only implemented in browsers, not in Node.js. Check KMLLoader.supported to check at run-time.
