A Python library to covert KML files to GeoJSON files

Project description

https://travis-ci.com/mrcagney/kml2geojson.svg?branch=master

kml2geojson is a Python 3.6+ package to convert KML files to GeoJSON files. Most of its code is a translation into Python of the Node.js package togeojson, but kml2geojson also adds the following features.

  • Preserve KML object styling, such as color and opacity

  • Optionally create a style dictionary cataloging all the KML styles used

  • Optionally create several GeoJSON FeatureCollections, one for each KML folder present

Installation

Create a Python 3.6+ virtual environment and run poetry add kml2geojson.

Usage

Use as a library or from the command line. For instructions on the latter, type k2g --help.

Documentation

In the docs directory and published at mrcagney.github.io/kml2geojson_docs.
