Package kml
provides convenience methods for creating and writing KML documents.
- Simple API for building arbitrarily complex KML documents.
- Support for all KML elements, including Google Earth
gx:
extensions. - Compatibilty with the standard library
encoding/xml
package. - Pretty (neatly indented) and compact (minimum size) output formats.
- Support for shared
Style
andStyleMap
elements. - Simple mapping between functions and KML elements.
- Convenience functions for using standard KML icons.
- Convenience functions for spherical geometry.
func ExampleKML() {
k := kml.KML(
kml.Placemark(
kml.Name("Simple placemark"),
kml.Description("Attached to the ground. Intelligently places itself at the height of the underlying terrain."),
kml.Point(
kml.Coordinates(kml.Coordinate{Lon: -122.0822035425683, Lat: 37.42228990140251}),
),
),
)
if err := k.WriteIndent(os.Stdout, "", " "); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
<Placemark>
<name>Simple placemark</name>
<description>Attached to the ground. Intelligently places itself at the height of the underlying terrain.</description>
<Point>
<coordinates>-122.0822035425683,37.42228990140251</coordinates>
</Point>
</Placemark>
