There is a problem in Chinese；If the attribute value is Chinese, there will be a problem with the Chinese language

@calvinmetcalf I think the problem is here https://github.com/calvinmetcalf/shapefile-js/blob/gh-pages/lib/index.js#L93

parseDbf takes buffer and encoding. That line is giving it buffer and undefined.

@fix in #95

I am using the latest version of this library. And parseing a shp-file

Observable.forkJoin([ Observable.fromEvent(shpReader, 'loadend').first(), Observable.fromEvent(dbfReader, 'loadend').first() ]).subscribe(res => { let geoJson = shp.combine([shp.parseShp(shpReader.result), shp.parseDbf(dbfReader.result)]) }); shpReader.readAsArrayBuffer(shpFile.shp); dbfReader.readAsArrayBuffer(shpFile.dbf);

My attributevalues contains swedish chars and i can't manage to get them in right encoding. Any tips?

[calvinmetcalf]

shp.parseDbf(dbfReader.result) can take as a second argument the encoding, aka the contents of the .cpg file

I got the same problem. The shp file created by ArcGIS doesn't contain cpg, while the Chinese characters are encoded by GBK. Then I use QGIS to edit the files, it works. 使用QGIS生成的shp可以在这个插件下正常使用。
