KML (Keyhole Markup Language)

KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is a file format used to display geographic information in applications like Google Earth and Google Maps. It stores data about locations, shapes, and images tied to specific points or areas on the Earth's surface. KML files can include features such as placemarks, routes, and 3D models, allowing users to visualize maps with custom annotations and spatial data. These files are written in an easy-to-read XML format, making it simple to share geographic information, create interactive maps, and incorporate geographic details into various projects.
