Laravel KML Parser

A simple Laravel package to parse KML and KMZ files, extracting geographic data in a convenient format.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require plin-code/kml-parser

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="kml-parser-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Default KML Namespace
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This value is the default namespace used for parsing KML files.
    | Usually you don't need to change this.
    |
    */
    'namespace' => 'http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2',
    
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Temporary Directory
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This value determines the temporary directory used for extracting KMZ files.
    | If null, the system temp directory will be used.
    |
    */
    'temp_directory' => null,
];

Usage

Basic Usage

use PlinCode\KmlParser\KmlParser;

// Parse a KML file
$parser = new KmlParser();
$parser->loadFromFile('path/to/file.kml');

// Get placemarks (points of interest)
$placemarks = $parser->getPlacemarks();

// Get styles
$styles = $parser->getStyles();

// Get style maps
$styleMaps = $parser->getStyleMaps();

// Get document name and description
$name = $parser->getDocumentName();
$description = $parser->getDocumentDescription();

// Convert to GeoJSON
$geoJson = $parser->toGeoJson();

Working with KMZ Files

KMZ files are ZIP archives that contain a KML file and possibly other assets like images:

// Parse a KMZ file
$parser = new KmlParser();
$parser->loadFromKmz('path/to/file.kmz');

// Work with the data just like with KML
$placemarks = $parser->getPlacemarks();

Extract all files from a KMZ:

use PlinCode\KmlParser\KmzExtractor;

$extractor = new KmzExtractor();
$files = $extractor->extractAllFiles('path/to/file.kmz', 'extraction/directory');

Facade Usage

You can also use the provided facade:

use PlinCode\KmlParser\Facades\KmlParser;

$placemarks = KmlParser::loadFromFile('path/to/file.kml')->getPlacemarks();
