##What about shp2json?

Unlike substack's [shp2json](https://github.com/substack/shp2json), this library does not require [gdal](http://www.gdal.org/). 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
