Hopfli provides a pure interface to compress data using the Zopfli library.

*Zopfli is a compression library released by Google in 2013, which can output
either a raw DEFLATE stream, or one wrapped into zlib or gzip formats. Under
default settings, the output produced by Zopfli is 3.7–8.3% smaller than that of
`gzip -9`, though the algorithm is 81 times slower.*

Zopfli is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.

## Example

````haskell
import           Codec.Compression.Hopfli
import           Data.ByteString
import           System.IO                (stdin, stdout)

main :: IO ()
main = hGetContents stdin >>= hPut stdout . compressWith defaultCompressOptions GZIP
