read a specific attribute in kml from javascript
Question
I have a map from mapquest API, and I'm also using Leaflet to display the zip codes, with a L.divIcon at the center of the polygon displaying the Zip code. Everything is working great except that I have to manually input the center of the polygon as a place to display the divIcon in javascript.
What I would like to know is if there is a way to read the kml from javascript to get the center of the polygon. I can use Qgis to calculate the center and save it to a kml lie this:
........
<Placemark>
<name>77029</name>
<ExtendedData><SchemaData schemaUrl="#center_jacinto">
<SimpleData name="Descriptio">Jacinto City</SimpleData>
</SchemaData></ExtendedData>
//This is the data I want to read from javascript if I can->
<Point><coordinates>-95.262889587410186,29.761518060337306</coordinates>
</Point>
.....
The kml will draw a marker which I don't want, I just want the lat and lon, which I will then draw my icon..
edit:I added this but getting nothing, very new to javascript and html so I'm sure the order is wrong

The shramov KML plugin doesn't support reading SimpleData attributes. You might want to use leaflet-omnivore instead, since it does.

It seems there is a pull request to allow Sharmov KML plugin to support ExtendedData and more.
https://github.com/shramov/leaflet-plugins/pull/165
Alternative options are:
- Use leaflet-omnivore https://github.com/mapbox/leaflet-omnivore
- Use togeojson https://github.com/mapbox/togeojson
