This library adds Brotli support to PHP. Batteries included.

```
function brotli_compress(string $data, int $quality = 11): string

function brotli_uncompress(string $data): string
```

It is a fork of [vdechenaux/brotli-php](https://github.com/vdechenaux/brotli-php). Main differences:

- avoid usage of `ob_start` in [`\Symfony\Component\Process\Process`](https://github.com/symfony/process/blob/b8d6eff26e48187fed15970799f4b605fa7242e4/Process.php#L1383-L1386) so you can use it inside an `ob_start` callback.
- comes with prebuilt binaries from  and automatic system guessing
