Offset	Length	Example	Name	Notes
0x00	0x04	53 49 4C 4B	silk_signature	By now this 2 are represented in wiki separated just incase the format allows for other variants, like SILKFLAT, SILKCRAP, or any other names, but maybe the 8 bytes are processed together
0x04	0x04	50 41 44 44	padd_signature
0x08	0x02	00 00	unknown	Always zeroes ?
0x0A	0x02	0C 00	entry_amount	Number of entries in the file (in little endian)
0x0C	0x04	00 00 00 00	padding ?	Always zeroes ?

Index table

The index table starts at offset 0x10, every entry in the index table is 0xC bytes lenght and is composed by 3 values. All values in the index table are in little endian. There is no gap or padding at the end of the index table

Example of the first entry in the index table of CEHtmlApi.bin

Offset	Length	Example	Name	Notes
0x00	0x04	B9 0B 00 00	entry_id	An unique ID for the entry, used by the web browser to identify and to access the data (in little endian)
0x04	0x04	A0 00 00 00	data_offset	Absolute offset of the data (in little endian)
0x08	0x04	9B 00 00 00	data_lenght	Size of the data (in little endian)

Data table

At this point is unknown if the PS3 parses every one of the datas in a specific way based on his type because the IDs of them are hardcoded in the .sprx (so the sprx knows what to do with every data before reading it), or the data type is identifyed by reading the first bytes. Anyway, to manage the datas in PC is needed to read the first bytes because in PC we are not using a database with all the IDs (so we dont know what to do with every data entry before reading it)

This identification method (by reading the data itself) is what is explained here in wiki, the order of how are listed the data types in this wiki page is also a suggestion of the order of how the data types checks could be performed

Data types

All data entries starts with 4 bytes + a text string. The first 4 bytes indicates the length of the text string located inmediatly after. So the first bytes that needs to be readed are the 4 bytes + the lenght indicated by that 4 bytes

Text string

This is the most basic example, the entry can be identifyed as a "text string" because is null terminated (note how the text_string_lenght=5 of the example below includes the null byte 0x00 at the end)

Offset	Length	Example	Name	Notes
0x00	0x04	00 00 00 05	text_string_lenght	Lenght of the next text string + 1 null byte at the end (in big endian)
0x04	varies	54 65 73 74	text_string	A normal text string (starting with random characters that doesnt matches the search patterns for the other data type checks)
varies	0x01	00	null	This is the null termination of the previous string

HTML (stored as a single text string

The fileformat allows to store HTML files as standard text string data, and are also null terminated (so it falls under the same characteristics as a standard text string). Because this reason, the only way to identify this data type in PC is by reading the first bytes of the string (if it starts with <!DOCTYPE HTML is a HTML)

To extract the data as a HTML file is needed to remove the null byte at the end (and the null byte at the end needs to be added when the HTML file is injected back)
