  Brotli is also a compression algorithm like GZIP. It is developed and maintained by Google and is best used for text compression. The reason being, it uses a dictionary of common keywords and phrases on both client and server-side and thus gives a better compression ratio. In version 0.7 of Appwrite, you can enable the Brotli compression for any JSON or text-based response. Actually, the new Brotli support has significantly improved the Appwrite dashboard loading times.

Most of the job will be made by a library called google/brotli, given that I'm not interested on making an implementation of the Brotli algorithm. Instead of that, my main pupose here, is to be able to implement a middleware that behave like the GZipMiddleware, from the FastAPI documentation.
