Description
This sample shows how to add a KML file as a layer to an ArcGIS API for JavaScript application. Adding a KML file (.kml or .kmz) is as simple as requiring the esri/layers/KMLLayer module,creating an instance KMLLayer and adding it to a map.
Note: The KML file needs to be publicly accessible.
