Answer 1

geoXML3 library contains parseKmlString function to parse KML from a string.

Example

 function initMap() { var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { zoom: 16, center: {lat: 31.40065516914794, lng: -98.30505371484378} }); var parser = new geoXML3.parser({map: map}); parser.parseKmlString('<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"><Document><Placemark><name><![CDATA[]]>Polygon</name><description><![CDATA[]]></description><Polygon><extrude>1</extrude><altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode><outerBoundaryIs><LinearRing><coordinates>-93.46008301171878,31.329035778926478,0 -98.30505371484378,31.40065516914794,0 -97.37121582421878,30.106233605369603,0 -92.65808105859378,30.14749530904506,0</coordinates></LinearRing></outerBoundaryIs> </Polygon></Placemark></Document></kml>'); } google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initMap); 

 #map { height: 140px; }
