# Notifications App File Format Docs
- XML-ish
- gzip compressed at default settings, does not appear to be too picky about it as content from the console thats decompressed and then recompressed with >= or <= the original file size still loads just fine
- stored on console in `/storage_mlc/usr/boss/00050010/1004d*00/user/common/data/news`
