# libLAS

> **STATUS NOTICE**: As of 2018, libLAS has been replaced by the [PDAL](https://pdal.io) and it is in

**hibernation mode** with very sporadic maintenance. libLAS does not provide support for LAS or LAZ 1.4, which PDAL does.

> If you are interested in submitting a fix or an improvement, *please consider becoming a contributor* helping with releasing any new changes.

----

libLAS is a C/C++ library for reading and writing the very common `LAS`

LiDAR format. The [ASPRS LAS format](https://www.asprs.org/divisions-committees/lidar-division/laser-las-file-format-exchange-activities)

is a sequential binary file format used to store data from LiDAR sensors

and by LiDAR processing software for data interchange and archival.

libLAS supports the ASPRS LAS format specification versions:

1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 (rudimentary support).
