+BROTLI DATA COMPRESSIOM LIBRARY
+
+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
+https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7932
