Convert Kml with multiple features to Geojson


I use this code to convert a kml file with a single feature to a GeoJson file.

String kmlToGeoJson(String fileName)
        throws IOException, ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, XMLStreamException {

    FileInputStream reader = new FileInputStream(fileName);
    PullParser parser = new PullParser(new KMLConfiguration(),reader, SimpleFeature.class);

    FeatureJSON fjson = new FeatureJSON();
    FileWriter tmp = new FileWriter(fileName + ".geojson");
    BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(tmp);

    SimpleFeature simpleFeature = (SimpleFeature) parser.parse();

    while (simpleFeature != null) {
        fjson.writeFeature(simpleFeature, writer);
        simpleFeature = (SimpleFeature) parser.parse();
    }

    return "success";
}

However, when I use a Kml file with multiple features like this one :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">

    <name>KmlFile</name>

</kml>

I get this Geojson file :

{ "type":"Feature",
         "geometry":{
                   "type":"Point",
                   "coordinates":[-122.0915,37.4239,0.0]},
         "properties":{"name":"Google West Campus 1",
                      "visibility":true,
                      "open":true,
                      "Style":"FeatureTypeStyleImpl[ name=name, [], rules=<1>                   (<RuleImpl> null\n)]"},
         "id":"fid--579a589e_150ad9a2e4f_-8000"
           }
{"type":"Feature",
"geometry":{
            "type":"Point",
            "coordinates":[-122.0927,37.4242,0.0]},
"properties":{
             "name":"Google West Campus 2",               
             "visibility":true, 
             "open":true,
             "Style":"FeatureTypeStyleImpl[ name=name, [], rules=<1>(<RuleImpl> null\n)]"},
"id":"fid--579a589e_150ad9a2e4f_-7fff"
}
{"type":"Feature",
"geometry":{
           "type":"Point",
           "coordinates":[-122.0923,37.423,0.0]},
"properties":{"name":"Google West Campus 3",
              "visibility":true,
              "open":true,
              "Style":"FeatureTypeStyleImpl[ name=name, [], rules=<1>(<RuleImpl> null\n)]"},
"id":"fid--579a589e_150ad9a2e4f_-7ffe"}
{"type":"Feature",
"properties":          
          {"name":"KmlFile",
          "visibility":true,
          "open":true,
         "name":"KmlFile",
         "Feature":"[]"},
"id":"fid--579a589e_150ad9a2e4f_-7ffd"}

It's like the whole kml file is considered a Single feature, with no comma between the features. How do I get it to consider the whole file as a Multiple Feature File I tried replacing SimpleFeature.class with SimpleFeatureCollection.class, buth the returned Geojson file is empty then.


Solution

  • I think that you need something like this to produce a FeatureCollection:

            FileInputStream reader = new FileInputStream(args[0]);
            PullParser parser = new PullParser(new KMLConfiguration(), reader, SimpleFeature.class);
    
            
            FileWriter tmp = new FileWriter(args[0] + ".geojson");
            BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(tmp);
            ArrayList<SimpleFeature> features = new ArrayList<>();
            SimpleFeature simpleFeature = (SimpleFeature) parser.parse();
            while (simpleFeature != null) {
                System.out.println(simpleFeature);
                features.add(simpleFeature);
                simpleFeature = (SimpleFeature) parser.parse();
            }
            SimpleFeatureCollection fc = DataUtilities.collection(features);
        GeoJSONDataStoreFactory fac = new GeoJSONDataStoreFactory();
        Map<String, Serializable> params = new HashMap<>();
        params.put(GeoJSONDataStoreFactory.URL_PARAM.key, url);
        DataStore ds = fac.createNewDataStore(params);
        store.createSchema(schema);
        SimpleFeatureSource featureSource = null;
        try {
            featureSource = ds.getFeatureSource(schema.getTypeName());
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            log.log(Level.INFO, "Didn't get a featureSource", e1);
            System.exit();
        }
        SimpleFeatureStore store = (SimpleFeatureStore) featureSource;
    
        store.addFeatures(ds.getFeatureSource().getFeatures());

    gt-geojson-store is now the preferred way to deal with GeoJSON input and output.
