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