工作需要，处理过一些KML文件，最近想借助KML梳理一下某些坐标点集，系统的了解一下KML文件的语法结构。（具体的格式解析用例放到最后）
这里我用<Point> 标记多个点的方式，整理我所收集到各省重点大学的坐标集合（举个例子）。
然后把KML直接拖入到奥维地图软件中，选择全部导入
做个简单的记录，把软件工具和kml用例上传到百度网盘：

基于XML，并定义了一些TAG用于规定地理数据的显示方式。KML可用于定义的地理特征包括地点、描述、叠层、路径和多边形等。
基本格式
1 地点标记（Placemarks）
一个简单的地点标记的KML代码如下所示：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Placemark>
<name>Simple placemark</name>
<description>Attached to the ground. Intelligently places itself
at the height of the underlying terrain.
</description>
<Point>
<coordinates>-122.0822035425683,37.42228990140251,0</coordinates>
</Point>
</Placemark>
</kml>
它包括以下几个部分：
（1）XML头：<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
（2）KML命名空间定义：<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
（3）地点标记对象，包括：
名称（name）：用于对地点标记进行注记；
描述（description）：对地点标记进行描述，“气球（ballon）”中的显示内容；
点（Point）：指定地点标记的位置。
2 使用HTML描述地点标记
有两种方式来使用HTML描述地点标记，一种是直接在，<Snippet>和<BalloonStyle>中的<text>标记中写入标准HTTP超链接地址，如www.google.com，这样Google Earth 4.0及更高版本将利用Auto-Markup技术自动把它显示为超链接。另一种是使用CDATA元素在标记中写入自己的HTML标记语言，如下所示：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Document>
<Placemark>
<name>CDATA example</name>
<description>
<![CDATA[
<h1>CDATA Tags are useful!</h1>
<p><font color="red">Text is <i>more readable</i> and
<b>easier to write</b> when you can avoid using entity
references.</font></p>
]]>
</description>
<Point>
<coordinates>102.595626,14.996729</coordinates>
</Point>
</Placemark>
</Document>
</kml>
3 叠层
叠层是覆盖在地球表面的图像。一个简单的叠层KML代码如下所示：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Folder>
<name>Ground Overlays</name>
<description>Examples of ground overlays</description>
<GroundOverlay>
<name>Large-scale overlay on terrain</name>
<description>Overlay shows Mount Etna erupting on July 13th, 2001.</description>
<Icon>
<href>http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/etna.jpg</href>
</Icon>
<LatLonBox>
<north>37.91904192681665</north>
<south>37.46543388598137</south>
<east>15.35832653742206</east>
<west>14.60128369746704</west>
<rotation>-0.1556640799496235</rotation>
</LatLonBox>
</GroundOverlay>
</Folder>
</kml>
在<GroundOverlay>中，它包含两个较新的标记：
<Icon>：指定图片的URL；
<LatLonBox>：指定图片的位置和范围。
Google Earth支持JPEG，BMP， GIF， TIFF， TGA和PNG等格式的图像。
4 路线
在KML里面，路线由<LineString>元素来创建。如下所示：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Document>
<name>Paths</name>
<description>Examples of paths. Note that the tessellate tag is by default set to 0. If you want to create tessellated lines, they must be authored (or edited) directly in KML.</description>
<Style id="yellowLineGreenPoly">
<LineStyle>
<color>7f00ffff</color>
<width>4</width>
</LineStyle>
<PolyStyle>
<color>7f00ff00</color>
</PolyStyle>
</Style>
<Placemark>
<name>Absolute Extruded</name>
<description>Transparent green wall with yellow outlines</description> <styleUrl>#yellowLineGreenPoly</styleUrl>
<LineString>
<extrude>1</extrude>
<tessellate>1</tessellate>
<altitudeMode>absolute</altitudeMode>
<coordinates>

</kml>
5 多边形
多边形由<Polygon>定义，包括<outerBoundaryIs>和<innerBoundaryIs>，如下所示：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Placemark>
