Since this is dBase file format, does this mean shapefiles can do more than alternative formats, like geoJSON?

- Stratoscope 6y agoThat's an interesting question. In practice I've found it to be the other way around - especially the ten character limit on .dbx column names. If your incoming data has a field named "Population in 2010" you have to map it to something shorter like "PopIn2010". Not a big deal but it gets annoying.
