As demonstrated in the tests, a MultiGeometry may contain other MultiGeometry nodes. We can support this with heterogenous GeometryCollection instances - though these are not currently rendered.
KML and WKT don't specify a winding order, so we write those out in CW/CCW order (for exterior/interior). GML references ISO 19107 that specifies CCW/CW, so we serialize in that winding order.
Having hand generated all this GML data the first time around, I reserve the right to modify it for the tests.
Now that we have FeatureId support (see #733), we can add this back to the
GML parsers (v2 and v3). Also add write support for FeatureId in KML, read
support was already added by @fredj
Add a parser (read/write) for OGC Well-Known-Text (WKT). It deals with
geometries only, not with features, mostly because WKT can only contain a
single geometry (or geometry collection). This can later on be used to
serialize and deserialize geometries in ol3.
This adds a parser (read/write) for GML v2 and v3. GML v3 is limited to the
simple features profile of GML 3.1.1, just like OpenLayers 2 was. This will
be the basis for the WFS parser, but it only makes sense to continue this work
once feature modification (insert, update, delete) is in place in ol3. So the
WFS parser will be another pull request.
This also involves some modifications to the xmleql functionality now that
it was tested with a real-life case (KML). Also, some of the input KML files
needed to be changed since we currently cannot roundtrip 100% of the input.
This adds ol.parser.ogc.KML which can be used to read and write KML documents.
NetworkLinks are retrieved asynchronously.
Current caveats of the implementation are:
* LabelStyle not yet implemented. Missing support in renderers.
* When using shared structures the parser needs to be configured with
dimension 2.
* We need a better way to disable fill, currently we use opacity as a
workaround.
* We cannot really roundtrip documents, since some of the info is not
preserved in the ol structures. But we can write out most of the important
info.
