A brotli decoder in elm!

Brotli is a compression algorithm much like the one zip archives use, but better: it is faster, more compact, and specifically geared towards web content and English text. This package decodes Bytes sequences that are compressed with the brotli algorithm:

import Brotli
import Bytes exposing (Bytes)
import Bytes.Decode as Decode
import Bytes.Encode as Encode

bytes : List Int
bytes =
    [ 27, 14, 0, 248, 37, 20, 82, 144, 66, 20, 169, 91, 100, 234, 20, 193 ]

buffer : Bytes
buffer =
    bytes
        |> List.map Encode.unsignedInt8
        |> Encode.sequence
        |> Encode.encode

result : Maybe String
result =
    Brotli.decode buffer
        |> Result.toMaybe
        |> Maybe.andThen (\v -> Decode.decode (Decode.string (Bytes.width v)) v)

--> Just "this is a test\n"
