README revision 1.1 1 BROTLI DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY
2
3 Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data
4 using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding
5 and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best
6 currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed
7 with deflate but offers more dense compression.
