shp - npm explorer

node-shp
========

Node.js shapefile parser in pure JS

##What about shp2json?

Unlike substack's shp2json, this library does not require gdal. Or anything other than fs.

Usage
===================
still in testing stages

var Shp = require('index');
var shpJson = Shp.readFileSync('path/to/shpfile_base_name');
// or
Shp.readFile('path', function(error, data){
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
})

TODO
====
- Allow to be run from commandline as executable
- Tests actually compare equality of results
- Tests for shapefiles with multiple features
- Separate out loading of file to allow preloading
- Proper support for multiPolygons, etc
