5## Overarching Purpose
6 
7The compression framework provides a pluggable mechanism for compressing and decompressing message payloads. It is designed to be extensible, allowing new compression algorithms to be added easily.

11- **`compression_internal.h` / `compression_internal.cc`**: Defines the core `grpc_compression_algorithm` enum and related functions.
12- **`message_compress.h` / `message_compress.cc`**: Defines functions for compressing and decompressing message payloads.

14## Notes
15 
16- The compression framework is a key component of gRPC's performance infrastructure.
17- It is responsible for reducing the size of message payloads, which can significantly improve performance over slow networks.
18- The framework is designed to be flexible and extensible, allowing it to be adapted to different performance requirements.
