KML Decoding support #223

Closed dbboyd17 closed 1 year ago

dbboyd17 commented 1 year ago

Is there any plan to support decoding of KML data, such that the package could be used to translate from KML to GeoJSON?

twpayne commented 1 year ago

No. KML is a markup language, not a data representation language. Beyond simple geometries, there is no canonical way to convert KML to GeoJSON.

You may find the types in github.com/twpayne/go-kml useful in your own converter.

Tom.

I take your point, and thanks for the exceedingly quick response!

I did find https://github.com/amundsentech/kml-decode

I’ll do a bit more digging/experimentation.

Cheers, Bruce.
