geoxml 2.3.0

Package for loading, manipulating, and saving GPS data in GPX and KML format.

geoxml

A library for loading, manipulating, and saving GPS data in XML format, including GPX (https://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp, a light-weight XML data format for the interchange of GPS data - waypoints, routes, and tracks) and KML (a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth).

View the official GPX 1.1 Schema at https://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd . And for KML schema, see https://developers.google.com/kml/ .

The project is originally authored by @kb0 with others, thanks for their works.

Getting Started

In your dart/flutter project add the dependency:

 dependencies:
   ...
   geoxml: ^2.3.0

Reading GPX

To read GPX input use the GpxReader object and function Gpx fromString(String input):

import 'package:geoxml/geoxml.dart';

main() async {
  // create gpx from xml string
  var xmlGpx = await GpxReader().fromString('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
      '<gpx version="1.1" creator="dart-gpx library">'
      '<wpt lat="-25.7996" lon="-62.8666"><ele>10.0</ele><name>Monte Quemado</name><desc>Argentina</desc></wpt>'
      '</gpx>');

  print(xmlGpx);
  print(xmlGpx.wpts);
}

To read GPX from a Stream<String>:

import 'package:geoxml/geoxml.dart';

main() async {
  // create gpx from xml string stream
  final stream = File('test/assets/wpt.gpx').openRead()
      .transform(utf8.decoder);
  final kml = await KmlReader()
      .fromStream(stream);

  print(xmlGpx);
  print(xmlGpx.wpts);
}

Writing GPX

To write object to GPX use the GpxWriter object and function String asString(Gpx gpx, {bool pretty = false}):

import 'package:geoxml/geoxml.dart';

main() {
  // create gpx object
  var gpx = Gpx();
  gpx.creator = "dart-gpx library";
  gpx.wpts = [
    Wpt(lat: 36.62, lon: 101.77, ele: 10.0, name: 'Xining', desc: 'China'),
  ];

  // generate xml string
  var gpxString = GpxWriter().asString(gpx, pretty: true);
  print(gpxString);
}

Reading KML

To read KML input use the KmlReader object and function Gpx fromString(String input):

import 'package:geoxml/geoxml.dart';

main() async {
  // create gpx from xml string
  var xmlGpx = await KmlReader().fromString('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> '
      '<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"><Document><Placemark><name>Monte Quemado</name>'
      '<description>Argentina</description> <ExtendedData/>'
      '<Point><altitudeMode>absolute</altitudeMode>'
      '<coordinates>-62.8666,-25.7996,10.0</coordinates></Point></Placemark>'
      '</Document></kml>');

  print(xmlGpx);
  print(xmlGpx.wpts);
}

To read KML from a Stream<String>:

import 'package:geoxml/geoxml.dart';

main() async {
  // create gpx from xml string stream
  final stream = File('test/assets/wpt.kml').openRead()
      .transform(utf8.decoder);
  final kml = await KmlReader()
      .fromStream(stream);

  print(xmlGpx);
  print(xmlGpx.wpts);
}

Writing KML

To export object to KML use the KmlWriter object and function String asString(Gpx gpx, {bool pretty = false}):

import 'package:geoxml/geoxml.dart';

main() {
  // create gpx object
  var gpx = Gpx();
  gpx.creator = "dart-gpx library";
  gpx.wpts = [
    Wpt(lat: 36.62, lon: 101.77, ele: 10.0, name: 'Xining', desc: 'China'),
  ];

  // generate xml string
  var kmlString = KmlWriter().asString(gpx, pretty: true);
  print(kmlString);

  // generate xml string with altitude mode - clampToGround
  var kmlString = KmlWriter(altitudeMode: AltitudeMode.clampToGround)
      .asString(gpx, pretty: true);
  print(kmlString);
}

Limitations

This is just an initial version of the package. There are still some limitations:

• No support for GPX 1.0.
• Doesn't validate schema declarations.
• Only some common KML elements are supported.
