History
LandXML was launched in the year 2000 to facilitate vendor-neutral interchange and long-term storage of civil engineering and survey data. It was based on an earlier ASCII format called E-ASE by AASHTO.[3]
The format was adopted by national surveys,[4] research institutes[5] and planning software vendors.[6]
The last official release, version 1.2 was published in 2008. A working draft for version 2.0 was published in 2014, but a final version has not been released as of 2025.[7]
