# dotLottie Structure
dotLottie is an open-source file format that aggregates one or more Lottie files and their associated resources (images, fonts, etc) into a single file to enable efficient and easy distribution of an animation. dotLottie files are ZIP archives compressed with the Deflate compression method and carry the file extension of .lottie

A dotLottie file ZIP archive has the following file and folder structure:
