    Introduction

    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.

    Brotli is open-sourced under the MIT License, see the LICENSE file.

    Build Status

    Build instructions

    Make

    To build and run tests, simply do:

    $ ./configure && make

    If you want to install brotli, use one of the more advanced build systems below.

    Bazel

    See Bazel

    CMake

    The basic commands to build, test and install brotli are:

    $ mkdir out && cd out && ../configure-cmake && make
    $ make test
    $ make install

    You can use other CMake configuration. For example, to build static libraries and use a custom installation directory:

    $ mkdir out-static && \
      cd out-static && \
      ../configure-cmake --disable-shared-libs --prefix='/my/prefix/dir/'
    $ make install

    Premake5

    See Premake5

    Python

    To install the Python module from source, run the following:

    $ python setup.py install

    See the Python readme for more details on testing and development.
