Get Google Map KML data in JSON format

Is there a way to get the KML file attached to this Google Map in JSON format instead of XML?:

I'm currently writing an app that needs to load this KML data. I would prefer that it's in JSON format. Is there a way of getting it in this format?

I was trying to convert KML files to JSON and it was the most useful tool I found to do it programmatically

https://github.com/mapbox/togeojson#using-it-as-a-console-utility

It is with nodejs, you should do something like that in the cli

togeojson file.kml > file.geojson

Then, you can pass it into a json quite easy

Anyway, hope this help

Since KML is just a flavor of XML, you could use any XML to JSON converter, of which there are many.

Here's one that's been around for a few years: http://www.thomasfrank.se/xml_to_json.html
