# laz-rs
Implementation or rather, translation of LAZ (laszip compression) format in Rust.
The goal of this project is to be a port of the Laszip compression,
allowing LAS readers to be able to read / write LAZ data, but not a fully featured LAS reader.
If you want a user friendly Rust LAS reader, [las-rs](https://crates.io/crates/las) is what you
are looking for. `las-rs` can use `laz-rs` to manage LAZ data by enabling the `laz`
feature of the `las-rs` crate.
Original Implementations:
- [LASzip](https://github.com/LASzip/LASzip)
- [LAStools](https://github.com/LAStools/LAStools)
- [laz-perf](https://github.com/hobu/laz-perf)
Minimal Rust version: 1.40.0
