PQA is a Palm OS Database format used specifically for storing Web content via web clipping applications. The HTML portions are stored in Compressed Markup Language, a compact binary form of HTML content where the code is converted to a sequence of bytes of a tokenized format.
In PQA data, the CML code is then combined with other Web content such as images. The bytes of the binary representation are further compressed in a bitwise scheme where fewer than 8 bits are used to encode many common characters. The result is what is known as PQA format (for Palm Query Applications). PQA is an application of PDB format, with some slight differences as to which fields are used.
