                  Shared Brotli Compressed Data Format
                draft-vandevenne-shared-brotli-format-02

Abstract

   This specification defines a data format for shared brotli
   compression, which adds support for shared dictionaries, large
   window, patching and a container format to brotli [RFC7932].

   Shared dictionaries and large window support allow significant
   compression gains compared to regular brotli, and patching allows
   smaller patches of binary files.
