STATUS NOTICE: As of 2018, libLAS has been replaced by the PDAL and it is in hibernation mode with very sporadic maintenance.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 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).
