brotli-js

Google brotli binding to Node.js via Rust and napi-rs

This library is mainly used to test the performance of napi-rs v2. For actual development, please use the zlib.brotliCompress() method that comes with Node.js.

• Cross-platform support, including Apple M1.
• No need for node-gyp and postinstall, the .node file has been compiled for you.
