| 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. |

| 9 | The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in RFC 7932 |
