Class: GeoJSONParser

GeoJSONParser(dataSource)

Parses a GeoJSON and creates shapes representing its contents. Points and MultiPoints in the GeoJSON are represented by Placemarks, Lines and MultiLines are represented by SurfacePolylines, and Polygons and MultiPolygons are represented by SurfacePolygons.

An attribute callback may also be specified to examine each geometry and configure the shape created for it. This function enables the application to assign independent attributes to each shape. An argument to this function provides any attributes specified in a properties member of GeoJSON feature.

defaultShapeConfigurationCallback(geometry, properties) → {Object}

The default shapeConfigurationCallback for this GeoJSON. It is called if none was specified to the load method. This method assigns shared, default attributes to the shapes created for each geometry. Any changes to these attributes will have an effect in all shapes created by this GeoJSON.

For all geometry, the GeoJSON's properties are checked for an attribute named "name", "Name" or "NAME". If found, the returned shape configuration contains a name property holding the value associated with the attribute. This value is specified as the label displayName property for all shapes created. For Placemark shapes it is also specified as the placemark label. It is specified as the displayName for all other shapes.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
geometry GeoJSONGeometry An object containing the geometry associated with this GeoJSON.
properties Object An object containing the attribute-value pairs found in GeoJSON feature properties member.
Source:
Returns:
An object with properties as described above.

load(parserCompletionCallback, shapeConfigurationCallback, layer)

Retrieves the GeoJSON, parses it and creates shapes representing its contents. The result is a layer containing the created shapes. A function can also be specified to be called for each GeoJSON geometry so that the attributes and other properties of the shape created for it can be assigned.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
parserCompletionCallback function An optional function called when the GeoJSON loading is complete and all the shapes have been added to the layer.
shapeConfigurationCallback function An optional function called by the addRenderablesFor* methods just prior to creating a shape for the indicated GeoJSON geometry. This function can be used to assign attributes to newly created shapes. The callback function's first argument is the current geometry object. The second argument to the callback function is the object containing the properties read from the corresponding GeoJSON properties member, if any. See the following methods for descriptions of the configuration properties they recognize:
layer RenderableLayer A RenderableLayer to hold the shapes created for each GeoJSON geometry. If null, a new layer is created and assigned to this object's layer property.
