1BROTLI DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY
2
3Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data
4using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding
5and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best
6currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed
7with deflate but offers more dense compression.
