8Description:
9Brotli is a generic byte-level compression algorithm that is used at the
10byte-compression level in WOFF 2.0 font file format. This library is used
11to decode WOFF 2.0 fonts and "Content-Encoding: br" responses.

13Some speed measurements to compare with //third_party/zlib were taken:

15At low compression levels, brotli is faster at compressing than zlib. At
16higher compression levels, brotli or zlib can be faster at compressing,
17depending on the data being compressed. At all compression levels, brotli
18decompresses roughly 1.6-2.0x slower than zlib.
