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
