A
DataSource which processes Keyhole Markup Language 2.2 (KML).
KML support in Cesium is incomplete, but a large amount of the standard,
as well as Google's gx extension namespace, is supported. See Github issue
#873 for a
detailed list of what is and isn't supported. Cesium will also write information to the
console when it encounters most unsupported features.
Non visual feature data, such as atom:author and ExtendedData
is exposed via an instance of KmlFeatureData, which is added to each Entity
under the kml property.

Members
changedEvent : Event
Gets an event that will be raised when the underlying data changes.
Gets the clock settings defined by the loaded KML. This represents the total
availability interval for all time-dynamic data. If the KML does not contain
time-dynamic data, this value is undefined.
clustering : EntityCluster
Gets or sets the clustering options for this data source. This object can be shared between multiple data sources.
credit : Credit
Gets the credit that will be displayed for the data source
Gets the collection of
Entity instances.
errorEvent : Event
Gets an event that will be raised if an error is encountered during processing.
Gets a value indicating if the data source is currently loading data.
kmlTours : Array.<KmlTour>
Gets the KML Tours that are used to guide the camera to specified destinations on given time intervals.
loadingEvent : Event
Gets an event that will be raised when the data source either starts or stops loading.
Gets or sets a human-readable name for this instance.
This will be automatically be set to the KML document name on load.
refreshEvent : Event
Gets an event that will be raised when the data source refreshes a network link.
Gets whether or not this data source should be displayed.
unsupportedNodeEvent : Event
Gets an event that will be raised when the data source finds an unsupported node type.

options |
KmlDataSource.LoadOptions | optional An object specifying configuration options |
Returns:
A promise that will resolve to a new KmlDataSource instance once the KML is loaded.
Cleans up any non-entity elements created by the data source. Currently this only affects ScreenOverlay elements.
