PostGIS Google Maps – How to Output Polygon Data from PostGIS and Read it on Google Maps API

Question

So, I have a group of polygons stored in PostGIS. I'm trying to build a web application with Google Base maps (using Google Maps API). Now, How do i output the polygons in the right format so that Google Maps API can read it?

I know about ST_Askml which outputs the data as KML, but what is the Google Maps function to read a kml on the fly? Or is there an alternative to outputting it as kml? Can i pull out the co-ordinates of each point on a polygon and load it onto the API on the fly?
