About GML

Geography Markup Language (GML) is an OGC XML-based format for expressing geographic features. It is often used for data exchange between government agencies and in INSPIRE-compliant systems.

Extensions: .gml
Software: QGIS, ArcGIS, GeoServer, Deegree, GDAL/OGR
Limitations: Verbose XML format — large file sizes. Complex schema definitions. Slower to read/write than binary formats.

Extensions: .kml
Software: Google Earth, Google Maps, QGIS, ArcGIS, Cesium
Limitations: Requires WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Can become very large for complex datasets. Limited attribute handling.
