geoxml3

The geoxml3 project is an effort to develop a KML processor for use with Version 3 of the Google Maps JavaScript API. This API is specifically designed to be lightweight and modular; accordingly, it did not originally contain the built-in KML support of Version 2. This library was originally intended to fill that need; as KML support has been added natively in Version 3, it now allows access to individual markers, polylines and polygons, rendered from KML. (Automatically exported from code.google.com/p/geoxml3 )

Original code inspired by Mike Williams' EGeoXml object (http://econym.org.uk/gmap/egeoxml.htm).

General Notes

Basic Usage

1. Download geoxml3.js to your web site from the Source tab above. You may also need ProjectedOverlay.js and/or ZipFile.complete.js (see above).

2. Include it in your map page, something like this:

<script src="geoxml3.js"></script>

3. Instantiate and initialize the object in JS, something like this:

var myParser = new geoXML3.parser({map: map});
myParser.parse('/path/to/data.kml');
