Handle incorrectly-specified LinearRing coordinates

[orlade]

When a LinearRing's <coordinates> tag is malformed using additional commas instead of spaces (i.e. x,y,z,x,y,z,x,y,z,... instead of x,y,z x,y,z x,y,z ...), JAK simply returns a list with only the first point.

That behaviour is fair enough, but it would be nice if it could either parse the malformed data or throw an exception, since returning a single point is technically incorrect and makes it harder to catch data errors.

Google Earth and other apps parse that malformed data correctly, so perhaps it's not so uncommon? A subset of the file I'm working with is:

Interesting, if there's a way to express that in the XML schema, it should straightforward to convert it to code using the tools

Sorry, this project is not actively maintained :pensive:

See #18 for further information.

I'll look into this...
