Compare Brotli with Zstd #8

@dennisjackson

Description

@dennisjackson

The draft is agnostic as to which compression scheme is used for pass 2 as long as it supports the use of custom shared dictionaries. There's been recent work on a new Brotli format for use with shared dictionaries (IETF draft) which might see use in HTTP transports (WICG draft).

Specific questions:

  1. How does the quality and maturity of software implementations compare?
  2. How does compression speed / ratio compare?
  3. Does Brotli's existing deployment in TLS Certificate Compression give it an advantage?
  4. Are existing Brotli implementations forward compatible with the shared dictionary format?
