Support for SRID transformations?

[abmohan]

Thanks for developing this tool!

I'm using it to import Canadian electoral districts into MongoDB. Here's a sample file: http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/geott/electoral/2011/fed308.2011.zip

The shapefile is in NAD83 CNT and the points have to be transformed to WGS84 for visualization. Are you planning on implementing a tool that performs such calculations, and if not, would you be willing to incorporate one if it were to be written?

since it turns it into geojson you can use something like https://github.com/calvinmetcalf/proj4geojson to convert the geojson

Sorry for not replying this issue. This is just a Shapefile parser, so it wouldn’t be the right place to implement coordinate system transformations. I’d either use ogr2ogr for that or a GeoJSON-based tool as Calvin suggested. Hope you figured something out already. 😉

I did, indeed. At the time, I used ogr2ogr. Thanks, @mbostock
