API
tokml(geojsonObject, [options])
Given GeoJSON data as an object, return KML data as a string of XML.
options
is an optional object that takes the following options:
The property to name/description mapping: while GeoJSON supports freeform
properties
on each feature, KML has an expectation of name
and description
properties that are often styled and displayed automatically. These options let
you define a mapping from the GeoJSON style to KML's.
name
: the name of the property in each GeoJSON Feature that contains the feature's namedescription
: the name of the property in each GeoJSON Feature that contains the feature's description
Timestamp: KML can associate features with a moment in time via the TimeStamp
tag. GeoJSON doesn't
have a comparable field, but a custom property can be mapped
timestamp
: the name of the property in each GeoJSON Feature that contains a timestamp in XML Schema Time (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:sszzzzzz)
Document name and description: KML supports name
and description
properties
for the full document.
documentName
: the name of the full documentdocumentDescription
: the description of the full document
simplestyle-spec support:
simplestyle
: set totrue
to convert simplestyle-spec styles into KML styles
