Unrecognized namespace #24

Closed terribletim closed 4 years ago

terribletim commented 4 years ago

kmlFile.Root is null when attempting to load USGS static kml - ColouredByAge

It appears that namespace http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2 is not recognized. File will load if namespace is edited to "http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"

Unfortunately the library is working as expected in this scenario, as the namespace is wrong. However there is another way to parse these files, see LegacyFiles for an example.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for info. It's a useful approach if you have the opportunity to inspect the file beforehand. But it's not suitable when trying to consume a web resource directly.
