These geometries can be points, lines, polygons etc. I would like to validate them and check if they are correctly written.</P><P>I'm reading the CSV with Pandas</P><PRE>import pandas as pd csv = read_csv('file.csv') #Let's take into account just the first location coordinates = csv.['location'].loc[0] </PRE><P>coordinates would be:</P><PRE>&lt;Point&gt;&lt;coordinates&gt;2.34880,48.85341&lt;/coordinates&gt;&lt;/Point&gt;</PRE><P data-unlink="true">I tried to proceed with&nbsp;<A href="https://fastkml.readthedocs.io/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">fastKML</A>, but it searches for a complete KML<A href="https://deepmaterialit.com/" target="_self">&nbsp;</A>file to check and not just the string I got.</P><P>So I'm wondering, is there any possibility to validate directly the sting?</P> Sat, 23 Apr 2022 19:53:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/validate-kml-geometries-in-python/m-p/1145123#M63799 AamirMurtaza43 2022-04-23T19:53:32Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/validate-kml-geometries-in-python/m-p/1147380#M63865 <P>Regex would probably be the way to go. &nbsp;If you have a standard valid example of how each type should be, you can set up a regex match to validate, similar to how email addresses are validated.</P> Thu, 24 Feb 2022 02:32:33 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/validate-kml-geometries-in-python/m-p/1147380#M63865 Anonymous User 2022-02-24T02:32:33Z
