Native bindings for Shapelib. This gem includes an embedded copy of Shapelib so it doesn't require any system libraries to be installed and can be installed with just gem/bundler.
This gem is intentionally low level and aims to be a 1:1 mapping of the native C API. It does not add any Ruby sugar on top of Shapelib. A more Ruby-like API can be implemented in ruby on top of this core API.
Docs for the native API:
