What is brotli?

The brotli npm package is a compression library that implements the Brotli compression algorithm. It provides methods for compressing and decompressing data using Brotli in Node.js applications.

What are brotli's main functionalities?

Compression

This feature allows you to compress data using the Brotli algorithm. The code sample demonstrates how to read a file, compress its contents, and then write the compressed data to a new file with a .br extension.

const brotli = require('brotli');
const fs = require('fs');

const input = fs.readFileSync('input.txt');
const compressed = brotli.compress(input);
fs.writeFileSync('input.txt.br', compressed);

Decompression

This feature allows you to decompress data that was previously compressed with the Brotli algorithm. The code sample shows how to read a compressed file, decompress its contents, and then write the decompressed data to a new file.

const brotli = require('brotli');
const fs = require('fs');

const compressed = fs.readFileSync('input.txt.br');
const decompressed = brotli.decompress(compressed);
fs.writeFileSync('output.txt', decompressed);
