7 ### Introduction
8
9 Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data
10 using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding
11 and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best
12 currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed
13 with deflate but offers more dense compression.
14
15 The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in [RFC 7932](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7932).
16
17 Brotli is open-sourced under the MIT License, see the LICENSE file.
18
19 > **Please note:** brotli is a "stream" format; it does not contain
20 > meta-information, like checksums or uncompresssed data length. It is possible
21 > to modify "raw" ranges of the compressed stream and the decoder will not
22 > notice that.

24 ### Build instructions
25
26 #### Vcpkg
27
28 You can download and install brotli using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) dependency manager:
29
30 git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
31 cd vcpkg
32 ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
33 ./vcpkg integrate install
34 ./vcpkg install brotli
35
36 The brotli port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
37
38 #### Bazel

40 See [Bazel](http://www.bazel.build/)
41
42 #### CMake
43
44 The basic commands to build and install brotli are:
45
46 $ mkdir out && cd out
47 $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..
48 $ cmake --build . --config Release --target install
49
50 You can use other [CMake](https://cmake.org/) configuration.
51
52 #### Python
53
54 To install the latest release of the Python module, run the following:
