Zoltan Szabadka:
While Zopfli is Deflate-compatible, Brotli is a whole new data format. This new format allows us to get 20–26% higher compression ratios over Zopfli. In our study “Comparison of Brotli, Deflate, Zopfli, LZMA, LZHAM and Bzip2 Compression Algorithms” we show that Brotli is roughly as fast as zlib’s Deflate implementation. At the same time, it compresses slightly more densely than LZMA and bzip2 on the Canterbury corpus.
The code is opensourced on GitHub. Via Nate Swanner for TNW.
UPDATE: Squash Benchmark has a table showing how Brotli fares compared to the other compression algorithms.
