# KML/GeoJSON Converter

Convert geographic data between KML, GeoJSON, and other geo formats for mapping and GIS applications.

## Purpose

Geo format conversion for:
- Google Maps / Earth integration
- Web mapping applications (Leaflet, Mapbox)
- GIS data interchange
- Spatial data processing
- GPS track conversion

## Features

- **Bidirectional Conversion**: KML ↔ GeoJSON
- **Feature Preservation**: Maintain properties, styles, descriptions
- **Batch Processing**: Convert multiple files
- **Coordinate Systems**: WGS84, UTM support
- **Validation**: Verify output format validity
- **Simplification**: Reduce polygon complexity

## Quick Start

```python
from kml_geojson_converter import GeoConverter

# KML to GeoJSON
converter = GeoConverter()
converter.load_kml('input.kml')
converter.save_geojson('output.geojson')

# GeoJSON to KML
converter.load_geojson('input.geojson')
converter.save_kml('output.kml')
```

## CLI Usage

```bash
# Convert KML to GeoJSON
python kml_geojson_converter.py input.kml --to geojson --output output.geojson

# Convert GeoJSON to KML
python kml_geojson_converter.py input.geojson --to kml --output output.kml
```
