+#### Content encoding negotiation
+
+Browsers can expose supported content encodings through `PushManager.supportedContentEncodings`. The library exposes its supported encodings through the public `ContentEncoding` enum, so applications can negotiate without duplicating a hard-coded list:
+
+```php
+use Minishlink\WebPush\ContentEncoding;
+
+$librarySupportedContentEncodings = array_map(
+    static fn (ContentEncoding $encoding): string => $encoding->value,
+    ContentEncoding::cases(),
+);
+```
+
+Use this list to validate or negotiate the browser-provided encodings before creating the `Subscription`, then pass the selected value as `contentEncoding`. If there is no overlap, treat the subscription as unsupported instead of guessing an encoding.
+
 ### Authentication (VAPID)
 
 Browsers need to verify your identity. A standard called VAPID can authenticate you for all browsers based on [RFC8292](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8292).
