Can't convert NOAA KML

[jlubeck]

I'm trying to convert this file: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gis/kml/nhc_active.kml

But the conversion is just returning this Object:

Object {type: "FeatureCollection", features: Array(0)}

Any idea what is wrong and if it can be fixed?

Thanks!

The issue is NetworkLinks - see the note in the readme about that limitation. https://github.com/tmcw/togeojson#why-doesnt-togeojson-support-networklinks

Can't the network link be converted to a regular string (or something) and give us the option to then do the download and re-conversion manually? (without having the library have to handle this).

Wouldn't that be better than to just return an empty object?

Thanks for the ultra quick reply!

There's no equivalent representation for a network link in GeoJSON, and I'd rather not invent one. If you'd like to extract the links, it's as easy as getElementsByTagName('NetworkLink') once you have an XML DOM.

Ok, thank you
