Sitemap Gen (sitemap-gen)

A fast and efficient Rust library for generating and validating XML sitemaps.

Overview

The sitemap-gen library provides a powerful solution for generating and optimizing XML sitemaps, essential for enhancing SEO and improving website visibility. It supports the creation of sitemaps for websites of any scale, with built-in validation and performance optimizations to ensure that your sitemaps comply with web standards.

Features

• XML Sitemap Generation: Efficiently generate well-structured XML sitemaps for websites.
• URL Management: Add, validate, and normalize URLs easily within the sitemap.
• Change Frequency Support: Specify how often pages are likely to change (daily, weekly, etc.).
• Last Modified Dates: Include accurate timestamps for when pages were last modified.
• Validation: Ensure that your sitemap adheres to size and URL limits as per SEO guidelines.
• Performance Optimizations: Pre-allocate buffers and optimize memory usage for generating large sitemaps.
• Asynchronous Processing: Leverage async functionality to generate sitemaps efficiently for larger sites.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml to start using sitemap-gen:

[dependencies]
sitemap-gen = "0.0.1"

Usage

Here’s an example of how to generate a sitemap:

use sitemap_gen::{Sitemap, ChangeFreq, SiteMapData};
use url::Url;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a new sitemap
    let mut sitemap = Sitemap::new();

    // Add entries
    let entry = SiteMapData {
        loc: Url::parse("https://example.com/")?,
        lastmod: "2023-10-01".to_string(),
        changefreq: ChangeFreq::Weekly,
    };

    sitemap.add_entry(entry)?;

    // Generate the XML
    let xml = sitemap.to_xml()?;
    println!("{}", xml);

    Ok(())
}
