Brotli compression format
417107b3dd
The new modes process the input data in independent blocks, using backward references only from within an input block. The new modes can be used by specifying quality 0 or quality 1, the old quality 1 and quality 2 modes are renamed quality 2 and quality 3, respectively, and the old quality 3 mode is removed. |

brotli
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
