   1 ### Introduction
   2
   3 Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data
   4 using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding
   5 and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best
   6 currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed
   7 with deflate but offers more dense compression.
   8
   9 The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in [RFC 7932](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7932.txt).
