You can add a KML/KMZ layer just like any other kind of layer, and importing or exporting KML is via geoprocessing tools.</P> Thu, 09 Nov 2023 14:41:17 GMT BuffaloCoWI 2023-11-09T14:41:17Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-pipelines-questions/support-for-kmz-kml/m-p/1346115#M17 <P>Will you be adding support for kmz/kml files? This is arguably one of the more inconvenient formats to use in the esri stack but is probably the most common spatial format used by non-GIS people. I'd say it's way more useful than Parquet currently.

However, they are not as useful as other layers, because all KML data by definition is only in a single coordinate system and not projected, and they are read-only in ArcGIS.</P><P><A href="https://developers.google.com/kml" target="_self">KML</A> and <A href="https://parquet.apache.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parquet</A> serve very different purposes. KML is really only meant for front-end applications and sharing small datasets, while Parquet is designed for storing big data, and can be spatially enabled using <A href="https://geoparquet.org/" target="_self">GeoParquet</A>. It makes sense for ESRI to invest further resources for <A href="https://developers.arcgis.com/geoanalytics/data/data-sources/parquet/" target="_self">Parquet support</A>, because it can be used for serious big-data and spatial analysis, but KML cannot feasibly be used for either.</P> Wed, 08 Nov 2023 19:21:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-pipelines-questions/support-for-kmz-kml/m-p/1347250#M18 BuffaloCoWI 2023-11-08T19:21:20Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-pipelines-questions/support-for-kmz-kml/m-p/1347644#M19 <P>This is a data pipelines question, KML is the default for the majority of non-GIS industry uses and it makes sense to have an automated way to process.

Is this not a use case for pipelines? It says that scheduling is in the next release. Sure I could probably write and schedule a notebook but I want to use this product.</P> Mon, 13 Nov 2023 16:12:49 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-pipelines-questions/support-for-kmz-kml/m-p/1348720#M21 QuantitativeFuturist 2023-11-13T16:12:49Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-pipelines-questions/support-for-kmz-kml/m-p/1355990#M22 <P><a href="https://community.esri.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/96406">@BuffaloCoWI</a>&nbsp;do you concur?</P> Fri, 01 Dec 2023 21:15:03 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-pipelines-questions/support-for-kmz-kml/m-p/1355990#M22 QuantitativeFuturist 2023-12-01T21:15:03Z
