## Overview

The GeoJSON to KML Converter is a streamlined utility designed to transform geographic data from GeoJSON format into KML (Keyhole Markup Language), ensuring your spatial data is ready for use in Google Earth and other mapping applications.

## Inputs

- **GeoJSON Input** (textarea): Enter GeoJSON data...
- **Document Name** (text): KML document name
- **Pretty Print Output** (checkbox)

## When to use

- When you need to visualize GeoJSON spatial data within Google Earth.
- When migrating geographic datasets between different GIS software platforms.
- When preparing location-based data for presentations or collaborative map sharing.

## How it works

- Paste your GeoJSON code into the input field.
- Specify a custom document name to organize your KML file.
- Toggle the 'Pretty Print' option if you require human-readable, indented XML output.
- Click the convert button to generate and download your KML file.

## Use cases

- Importing custom map boundaries into Google Earth for site analysis.
- Sharing project site locations with stakeholders who use KML-compatible software.
- Converting web-based map exports into files suitable for offline GIS viewing.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between GeoJSON and KML?

GeoJSON is a JSON-based format for encoding geographic data structures, while KML is an XML-based format primarily used for displaying geographic data in Google Earth.

### Can I convert multiple GeoJSON files at once?

This tool is designed to process one GeoJSON input block at a time.

### What does the 'Pretty Print' option do?

It formats the resulting KML code with line breaks and indentation, making the XML structure easier to read and debug.

### Is my data stored on your servers?

No, the conversion is performed locally in your browser, ensuring your geographic data remains private.

### Will this tool work with complex GeoJSON geometries?

Yes, the converter supports standard GeoJSON geometry types including points, lines, and polygons.
