WebApp to show DBASE (*.dbf) file information

The ESRI Shapefile format stores database attributes in DBASE DBF (*.dbf) file and shape geometries in another associated file (*.shp). Using the DBASE file structure documentation in http://www.dbf2002.com/dbf-file-format.html, I wrote a simple Javascript web app to show basic information about a DBF file, similar to the open source ShapeLib's dbfinfo executable.

 The web app can be run from this page http://dominoc925-pages.appspot.com/webapp/dbf_info/default.html.

1. To use the web app, simply drag and drop one or more DBASE files (*.dbf) into the dashed box as shown in the screenshot below.
   
   
2. Or click the button and choose one or more (*.dbf) files. .
   
   
   
   Basic information about the DBF file is displayed, including the number of records, the number of columns, column names and type.
   
   
   
   

Note: This will run only on Chrome and a development version of FireFox that uses Gecko 7 at the moment. 

WebApp to show Shapefile information

I wrote a simple HTML5 Web App to show basic information about one or more ESRI Shapefile (*.shp) files similar to the shpinfo command from the open source ShapeLib library. The processing of the Shapefile is done in the local web browser without having to upload it to a server. The web app can be run from this web site http://dominoc925-pages.appspot.com/webapp/shpfile_info/default.html.

One the page is displayed, either click the button and select one or more Shapefiles or drag and drop *.shp files into the dashed box as shown in the screenshots below.

The Shapefile information is displayed in the web page.
