//! Certificate compression and decompression support
//!
//! This crate supports compression and decompression everywhere
//! certificates are used, in accordance with [RFC8879][rfc8879].
//!
//! Note that this is only supported for TLS1.3 connections.
//!
//! # Getting started
//!
//! Build this crate with the `brotli` and/or `zlib` crate features.  This
//! adds dependencies on these crates.  They are used by default if enabled.
//!
//! We especially recommend `brotli` as it has the widest deployment so far.
//!
//! # Custom compression/decompression implementations
//!
//! 1. Implement the [`CertCompressor`] and/or [`CertDecompressor`] traits
//! 2. Provide those to:
//!   - [`ClientConfig::cert_compressors`][cc_cc] or [`ServerConfig::cert_compressors`][sc_cc].
//!   - [`ClientConfig::cert_decompressors`][cc_cd] or [`ServerConfig::cert_decompressors`][sc_cd].
//!
//! These are used in these circumstances:
//!
//! | Peer | Client authentication | Server authentication |
//! | ---- | --------------------- | --------------------- |
//! | *Client* | [`ClientConfig::cert_compressors`][cc_cc] | [`ClientConfig::cert_decompressors`][cc_cd] |
//! | *Server* | [`ServerConfig::cert_decompressors`][sc_cd] | [`ServerConfig::cert_compressors`][sc_cc] |
//!
//! [rfc8879]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8879
