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]
