Split KML files with many layers into separate files. Go from 1 KML file with 20 layers to 4 KML files with 5 layers. Uses Node GDAL to read KML sources and create KML sinks.

# package.json
npm install @mapbox/kml-split --save

# globally
npm install @mapbox/kml-split -g

Example

var kmlSplit = require('@mapbox/kml-split');

kmlSplit('./path/to/file.kml', {maxLayers: 5}, function(err, res) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(res); // => array of file paths for newly created files
});

Options

• maxLayers: the maximum number of layers per file (default: 15)
• outDir: output directory for the newly created files (defaults to the current directory)

kml-split <file> -l/--layers -o/--output

Example

kml-split my-awesome.kml -l 15 -o ../../output/files
