| Description: | |
| Brotli is a generic byte-level compression algorithm that is used at the | |
| byte-compression level in WOFF 2.0 font file format. This library is used | |
| to decode WOFF 2.0 fonts and "Content-Encoding: br" responses. | |
| Some speed measurements to compare with //third_party/zlib were taken: | |
| https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1As6Sf03o8adulBH03RzIc0Ei_jNhcKXWArNsTQKk-8M/edit?usp=sharing | |
| At low compression levels, brotli is faster at compressing than zlib. At | |
| higher compression levels, brotli or zlib can be faster at compressing, | |
| depending on the data being compressed. At all compression levels, brotli | |
| decompresses roughly 1.6-2.0x slower than zlib. | |
