To parse a KML file in TypeScript and obtain points, polylines, and polygons simultaneously, you can use a library such as geolib or ogr2ogr.
npm install geolib
parseKML
function to parse the KML file:import {parseKML} from 'geolib';
const kmlString = fs.readFileSync('file.kml', {encoding: 'utf-8'});
const kmlData = parseKML(kmlString);
kmlData
object contains an array of features, each of which has a geometry
property. Filter the features by geometry type to separate points, polylines, and polygons:const points = kmlData.features.filter(feature => feature.geometry.type === 'Point');
const polylines = kmlData.features.filter(feature => feature.geometry.type === 'LineString');
const polygons = kmlData.features.filter(feature => feature.geometry.type === 'Polygon');
coordinates
property of each geometry to access the individual points, lines, and polygons:const pointCoordinates = points[0].geometry.coordinates;
const polylineCoordinates = polylines[0].geometry.coordinates;
const polygonCoordinates = polygons[0].geometry.coordinates;
Note that the structure of the coordinates
property may vary depending on the complexity of the geometry. For example, a polygon with holes may have multiple arrays of coordinates.
