=head1 NAME

IO::Compress::Brotli - Write Brotli buffers/streams

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use IO::Compress::Brotli;

  # compress a buffer
  my $encoded = bro $encoded;

  # compress a stream
  my $bro = IO::Compress::Brotli->create;
  while(have_input()) {
     my $block = get_input_block();
     my $encoded_block = $bro->compress($block);
     handle_output_block($encoded_block);
  }
  # Need to finish the steam
  handle_output_block($bro->finish());

=head1 DESCRIPTION

IO::Compress::Brotli is a module that compressed Brotli buffers
and streams. Despite its name, it is not a subclass of
L<IO::Compress::Base> and does not implement its interface. This
will be rectified in a future release.

=head2 One-shot interface

If you have the whole buffer in a Perl scalar use the B<bro>
function.

=over

=item B<bro>(I<$input>)

Takes a whole uncompressed buffer as input and returns the compressed
data.

Exported by default.

=back

=head2 Streaming interface

If you want to process the data in blocks use the object oriented
interface. The available methods are:

=over

=item IO::Compress::Brotli->B<create>

Returns a IO::Compress::Brotli instance. Please note that a single
instance cannot be used to decompress multiple streams.

=item $bro->B<window>(I<$window>)

Sets the window parameter on the brotli encoder.
Defaults to BROTLI_DEFAULT_WINDOW (22).

=item $bro->B<quality>(I<$quality>)

Sets the quality paremeter on the brotli encoder.
Defaults to BROTLI_DEFAULT_QUALITY (11).

=item $bro->B<mode>(I<$mode>)

Sets the brotli encoder mode, which can be any of "generic",
"text" or "font". Defaults to "generic".

=item $bro->B<compress>(I<$block>)

Takes the a block of uncompressed data and returns a block of
compressed data. Dies on error.

=item $bro->B<flush>()

Flushes any pending output from the encoder.

=item $bro->B<finish>()

Tells the encoder to start the finish operation, and flushes
any remaining compressed output.

Once finish is called, the encoder cannot be used to compress
any more content.

B<NOTE>: Calling finish is B<required>, or the output might
remain unflushed, and the be missing termination marks.
