A Python 3.4 tool kit for converting KML files to GeoJSON files
Project description
This is a Python 3.4 command-line program to convert KML files to GeoJSON.
Much of the code is a translation into Python of the KML converter in the Node.js package togeojson. But kml2geojson also adds the following features.
Preserves KML object styling, such as color and opacity
Optionally writes one JSON file cataloging all the KML styles used
Optionally creates several GeoJSON files of FeatureCollections, one for each KML folder
Installation
pip install kml2geojson
Usage
At the command line type kml2geojson --help for instructions.
Documentation
In docs and on RawGit here.
Notes
Development status: Alpha
This project uses semantic versioning (major.minor.micro), where each breaking feature or API change is considered a major release. So the version code reflects the project’s change history, rather than its development status. In particular, a high major version number, does not imply a mature development status.
