sitemap-generator

Node Sitemap Generator

Creates an XML-Sitemap by crawling a given site.

Installation

$ npm install -g sitemap-generator

Usage

$ sitemap-generator [options] <url>

The crawler will fetch all sites matching folder URLs and certain file extensions. You can include files with -i ext or ignore files with -e ext. Most of the common file types are already black listed. File types parsed by Google are not black listed.

Tip: Omit the URL protocol, the crawler will detect the right one.

Options

$ sitemap-generator --help

  Usage: sitemap-generator [options] <url>

  Options:

    -h, --help                output usage information
    -V, --version             output the version number
    -q, --query               consider query string
    -i, --include [ext,ext2]  include fetched links by file extension, comma seperated
    -e, --exclude [ext,ext2]  exclude fetched links by file extension, comma seperated
    -o, --output [path]       specify output path

Important: Executing the sitemap-generator with sites using HTML base-tag along with links without leading slashes will probably not work.
