Thanks! I know this is a draft, but a few notes that I thought I might share.

These aren't blockers or concerns, just little notes.

Pull request overview

This PR implements a sitemap.xml generator to improve SEO for Node.js API documentation by ensuring search engines can properly index the latest API pages. This addresses issue #255, which identified that missing sitemaps could cause search engines to show outdated information.

Key changes:

• Created a new sitemap generator that depends on the metadata generator
• Added sitemap template with standard XML structure
• Registered the generator in the public generators list

Reviewed changes

File	Description
src/generators/sitemap/index.mjs	Main generator implementation that creates sitemap.xml with URL entries for all API pages and a main API index page
src/generators/sitemap/template.xml	XML template for the sitemap structure following the sitemap.org protocol
src/generators/index.mjs	Registered the sitemap generator in the publicGenerators export

• The sitemap generator lacks test coverage. Consider adding tests to verify the correct generation of sitemap.xml content, including URL construction, filtering of entries by depth, date formatting, and proper XML structure. Tests should also cover edge cases such as empty entry lists and entries with special characters in URLs.

  async generate(entries, { output }) {
    const lastmod = new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0];

    const apiPages = entries
      .filter(entry => entry.heading.depth === 1)
      .map(entry => {
        const path = entry.api_doc_source.replace(/^doc\//, '/docs/latest/');
        const url = new URL(path, BASE_URL).href;

        return {
          loc: url,
          lastmod,
          changefreq: 'weekly',
          priority: '0.8',
        };
      });

    apiPages.push({
      loc: new URL('/docs/latest/api/', BASE_URL).href,
      lastmod,
      changefreq: 'daily',
      priority: '1.0',
    });

    const template = await readFile(
      join(import.meta.dirname, 'template.xml'),
      'utf-8'
    );

    const urlset = apiPages
      .map(
        page => dedent`
        <url>
          <loc>${page.loc}</loc>
          <lastmod>${page.lastmod}</lastmod>
          <changefreq>${page.changefreq}</changefreq>
          <priority>${page.priority}</priority>
        </url>
      `
      )
      .join('\n');

    const sitemap = template.replace('__URLSET__', urlset);

    if (output) {
      await writeFile(join(output, 'sitemap.xml'), sitemap, 'utf-8');
    }

    return sitemap;
  },
};

nit: use template files for this and then do simple key->value substitution. Or use proper rss/feed libraries OR xml libraries.

[avivkeller]

Or use proper rss/feed libraries OR xml libraries.

You can probably use hast (but I'm also fine with it this way), seeing as the majority of it is a template

[araujogui]

If we use hast, we are probably going to need https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast-util-to-xast too

[ovflowd]

I'm fine with whatever that uses the least amount of dependencies. We can also just use yet another template file, we can also simply use another dependency, like the xast one, or rss/feeds or whatever.
