What is KML?

KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML-based file format used to represent geographic data in a visual format. It's commonly used with applications like Google Earth, Google Maps, and other geospatial software to annotate maps and globes. KML files can specify points, lines, polygons, images, and models to be displayed, along with attributes such as names, descriptions, and styling.
