Introducing Brotli - an alternative to LZMA

2013-09-10 Thread Jonathan Kew
[tl;dr] Considering the use of LZMA [or bzip2?] somewhere in the web platform, for improved compression compared to gzip algorithms? Take a look at a new project, Brotli, an alternative with several potential benefits: - formal specification will be available - commitment to security
