sitemap is a high-level streaming sitemap-generating library/CLI that makes creating sitemap XML files easy. What is a sitemap?

Table of Contents

Installation

npm install --save sitemap

Generate a one time sitemap from a list of urls

If you are just looking to take a giant list of URLs and turn it into some sitemaps, try out our CLI. The cli can also parse, update and validate existing sitemaps.

npx sitemap < listofurls.txt # `npx sitemap -h` for more examples and a list of options.

For programmatic one time generation of a sitemap try:

// ESM
import { SitemapStream, streamToPromise } from 'sitemap'
import { Readable } from 'stream'

// CommonJS
const { SitemapStream, streamToPromise } = require('sitemap')
const { Readable } = require('stream')

// An array with your links
const links = [{ url: '/page-1/',  changefreq: 'daily', priority: 0.3  }]

// Create a stream to write to
const stream = new SitemapStream( { hostname: 'https://...' } )

// Return a promise that resolves with your XML string
return streamToPromise(Readable.from(links).pipe(stream)).then((data) =>
  data.toString()
)

Serve a sitemap from a server and periodically update it

Use this if you have less than 50 thousand urls. See SitemapAndIndexStream for if you have more.

// ESM
import express from 'express'
import { SitemapStream, streamToPromise } from 'sitemap'
import { createGzip } from 'zlib'
import { Readable } from 'stream'

// CommonJS
const express = require('express')
const { SitemapStream, streamToPromise } = require('sitemap')
const { createGzip } = require('zlib')
const { Readable } = require('stream')

const app = express()
let sitemap

app.get('/sitemap.xml', function(req, res) {
  res.header('Content-Type', 'application/xml');
  res.header('Content-Encoding', 'gzip');
  // if we have a cached entry send it
  if (sitemap) {
    res.send(sitemap)
    return
  }

  try {
    const smStream = new SitemapStream({ hostname: 'https://example.com/' })
    const pipeline = smStream.pipe(createGzip())

    // pipe your entries or directly write them.
    smStream.write({ url: '/page-1/',  changefreq: 'daily', priority: 0.3 })
    smStream.write({ url: '/page-2/',  changefreq: 'monthly',  priority: 0.7 })
    smStream.write({ url: '/page-3/'})    // changefreq: 'weekly',  priority: 0.5
    smStream.write({ url: '/page-4/',   img: "http://urlTest.com" })
    /* or use
    Readable.from([{url: '/page-1'}...]).pipe(smStream)
    if you are looking to avoid writing your own loop.
    */

    // cache the response
    streamToPromise(pipeline).then(sm => sitemap = sm)
    // make sure to attach a write stream such as streamToPromise before ending
    smStream.end()
    // stream write the response
    pipeline.pipe(res).on('error', (e) => {throw e})
  } catch (e) {
    console.error(e)
    res.status(500).end()
  }
})

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('listening')
});

Create sitemap and index files from one large list

If you know you are definitely going to have more than 50,000 urls in your sitemap, you can use this slightly more complex interface to create a new sitemap every 45,000 entries and add that file to a sitemap index.

// ESM
import { createReadStream, createWriteStream } from 'fs'
import { resolve } from 'path'
import { createGzip } from 'zlib'
import { simpleSitemapAndIndex, lineSeparatedURLsToSitemapOptions } from 'sitemap'

// CommonJS
const { createReadStream, createWriteStream } = require('fs')
const { resolve } = require('path')
const { createGzip } = require('zlib')
const {
  simpleSitemapAndIndex,
  lineSeparatedURLsToSitemapOptions
} = require('sitemap')

// writes sitemaps and index out to the destination you provide.
simpleSitemapAndIndex({
  hostname: 'https://example.com',
  destinationDir: './',
  sourceData: lineSeparatedURLsToSitemapOptions(
    createReadStream('./your-data.json.txt')
  ),
  // sourceData can also be:
  // sourceData: [{ url: '/page-1/', changefreq: 'daily'}, ...],
  // or
  // sourceData: './your-data.json.txt',
  limit: 45000, // optional, default: 50000
  gzip: true, // optional, default: true
  publicBasePath: '/sitemaps/', // optional, default: './'
  xslUrl: 'https://example.com/sitemap.xsl', // optional XSL stylesheet
}).then(() => {
  // Do follow up actions
})

Want to customize that?

// ESM
import { createReadStream, createWriteStream } from 'fs'
import { resolve } from 'path'
import { createGzip } from 'zlib'
import { Readable } from 'stream'
import { SitemapAndIndexStream, SitemapStream, lineSeparatedURLsToSitemapOptions } from 'sitemap'

// CommonJS
const { createReadStream, createWriteStream } = require('fs')
const { resolve } = require('path')
const { createGzip } = require('zlib')
const { Readable } = require('stream')
const {
  SitemapAndIndexStream,
  SitemapStream,
  lineSeparatedURLsToSitemapOptions
} = require('sitemap')

const sms = new SitemapAndIndexStream({
  limit: 50000, // defaults to 45k
  lastmodDateOnly: false, // print date not time
  // SitemapAndIndexStream will call this user provided function every time
  // it needs to create a new sitemap file. You merely need to return a stream
  // for it to write the sitemap urls to and the expected url where that sitemap will be hosted
  getSitemapStream: (i) => {
    const sitemapStream = new SitemapStream({ hostname: 'https://example.com' });
    // if your server automatically serves sitemap.xml.gz when requesting sitemap.xml leave this line be
    // otherwise you will need to add .gz here and remove it a couple lines below so that both the index 
    // and the actual file have a .gz extension
    const path = `./sitemap-${i}.xml`; 

    const ws = sitemapStream
      .pipe(createGzip()) // compress the output of the sitemap
      .pipe(createWriteStream(resolve(path + '.gz'))); // write it to sitemap-NUMBER.xml

    return [new URL(path, 'https://example.com/subdir/').toString(), sitemapStream, ws];
  },
});

// when reading from a file
lineSeparatedURLsToSitemapOptions(
  createReadStream('./your-data.json.txt')
)
.pipe(sms)
.pipe(createGzip())
.pipe(createWriteStream(resolve('./sitemap-index.xml.gz')));

// or reading straight from an in-memory array
sms
.pipe(createGzip())
.pipe(createWriteStream(resolve('./sitemap-index.xml.gz')));

const arrayOfSitemapItems = [{ url: '/page-1/', changefreq: 'daily'}, ...]
Readable.from(arrayOfSitemapItems).pipe(sms)
// or
arrayOfSitemapItems.forEach(item => sms.write(item))
sms.end() // necessary to let it know you've got nothing else to write

Options you can pass

// ESM
import { SitemapStream, streamToPromise } from 'sitemap'

// CommonJS
const { SitemapStream, streamToPromise } = require('sitemap')

const smStream = new SitemapStream({
  hostname: 'http://www.mywebsite.com',
  xslUrl: "https://example.com/style.xsl",
  lastmodDateOnly: false, // print date not time
  xmlns: { // trim the xml namespace

    ],
  }
 })
// coalesce stream to value
// alternatively you can pipe to another stream
streamToPromise(smStream).then(console.log)

smStream.write({
