Update research * don't use `assert` when side-effect is desired * use `gflags` to pick options from args Other changes: * teach stub `Makefile` to do partial rebuild * remove obsolete `tools/version.h`
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 RFC 7932.
