@webstandard/sitemap is a minimal, standards-compliant generator for producing sitemap.xml files in Node.js.
It provides clean classes for defining URLs, modification dates, and sitemap indexes — then outputs canonical XML exactly as search engines expect.

Installation

npm  install  @webstandard/sitemap

Example

import { SitemapXml, SitemapXmlUrl } from '@webstandard/sitemap';

// Create a sitemap instance
const sitemap = new SitemapXml();

// Add URLs
sitemap.addUrl(
    new SitemapXmlUrl('/', {
        priority: 1.0,
        changefreq: 'daily',
        lastmod: new Date('2024-02-20'),
    }),
);

sitemap.addUrl(
    new SitemapXmlUrl('/about', {
        priority: 0.8,
        changefreq: 'weekly',
        lastmod: new Date('2024-02-18'),
    }),
);

// Generate XML
const xml = sitemap.output({
    domain: 'https://example.com',
    dateFormat: 'date-only',
});
console.log(xml);

Working with Sitemap Indexes

import { SitemapXmlIndex, SitemapXmlIndexItem } from '@webstandard/sitemap';

const index = new SitemapXmlIndex();
index.addItem(
    new SitemapXmlIndexItem('/sitemap1.xml', {
        lastmod: new Date('2024-02-20'),
    }),
);
index.addItem(
    new SitemapXmlIndexItem('/sitemap2.xml', {
        lastmod: new Date('2024-02-18'),
    }),
);

const xml = index.output({
    domain: 'https://example.com',
    dateFormat: 'date-only',
});
console.log(xml);

JSON Serialization

Both SitemapXml and SitemapXmlIndex support full JSON serialization and rebuilding:

const json = sitemap.toJSON();
const restored = SitemapXml.fromJSON(json);
