Re: Display of KML file in esri javascript from file object

Vinay_Kumar

Yes, It was ArcGIS SDK for JS. I tried with the KMLLayer Class but it was not working when we create it from the upload file. Creating a URL from the Blob and adding it to the KMLLayer Class. 

const blob = new Blob([fileReader.result], {

                    type: "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml"

                });

                const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);

                console.log(url);

               // window.open(url, '_blank');

                externallayer = new KMLLayer({

                    url: url,

                 

                });

 

It shows invalid KML data.

The KMLLayer doesn't parse KML via the client, it sends the KML url to a utility service that parses it into features and returns those results, so passing a KML blob won't work. The KML url has to be accessible by the utility service.

Per the documentation. https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-layers-KMLLayer.html

The KMLLayer uses a utility service from ArcGIS.com, therefore your kml/kmz files must be publicly accessible on the internet.
