The ESRI Shapefile is a widely used geospatial vector data format for geographic information system (GIS) applications. It was developed by Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.) and is primarily used to store geometric location and attribute information of spatial features.
A shapefile consists of multiple mandatory and optional files, the three key files being:
.shp– Stores the geometry (shapes) of spatial features..shx– A spatial index file for faster access..dbf– A dBASE table storing attribute data.
Additional optional files may include .prj (projection information)
and .cpg (character encoding).
Zipped Shapefiles
Shapefiles are often distributed as compressed ZIP files, containing all necessary files in a single package.

| Description | The **ESRI Shapefile** is a widely used geospatial vector data format for geographic information system (GIS) applications. It was developed by **Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.)** and is primarily used to store geometric location and attribute information of spatial features. A shapefile consists of multiple mandatory and optional files, the three key files being: - **`.shp`** – Stores the geometry (shapes) of spatial features. - **`.shx`** – A spatial index file for faster access. - **`.dbf`** – A dBASE table storing attribute data. Additional optional files may include `.prj` (projection information) and `.cpg` (character encoding). **Zipped Shapefiles** Shapefiles are often distributed as **compressed ZIP files**, containing all necessary files in a single package. **Official References** - Esri Shapefile Technical Description: [https://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf](https://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf) - Esri Shapefile Format Specification: [https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-data-interoperability](https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-data-interoperability) |
