VERSION
    version 1.121160

SYNOPSIS
        use WWW::Sitemap::XML;

        my $map = WWW::Sitemap::XML->new();

        # add new url
        $map->add( 'http://mywebsite.com/' );

        # or
        $map->add(
            loc => 'http://mywebsite.com/',
            lastmod => '2010-11-22',
            changefreq => 'monthly',
            priority => 1.0,
        );

        # or
        $map->add(
            WWW::Sitemap::XML::URL->new(
                loc => 'http://mywebsite.com/',
                lastmod => '2010-11-22',
                changefreq => 'monthly',
                priority => 1.0,
            )
        );

        # read URLs from existing sitemap.xml file
        my @urls = $map->read( 'sitemap.xml' );

        # load urls from existing sitemap.xml file
        $map->load( 'sitemap.xml' );

        # get XML::LibXML object
        my $xml = $map->as_xml;

        print $xml->toString(1);

        # write to file
        $map->write( 'sitemap.xml', my $pretty_print = 1 );

        # write compressed
        $map->write( 'sitemap.xml.gz' );

DESCRIPTION
    Read and write sitemap XML files as defined at
    <http://www.sitemaps.org/>.

METHODS
  add($url|%attrs)
        $map->add(
            WWW::Sitemap::XML::URL->new(
                loc => 'http://mywebsite.com/',
                lastmod => '2010-11-22',
                changefreq => 'monthly',
                priority => 1.0,
            )
        );

    Add the $url object representing single page in the sitemap.

    Accepts blessed objects implementing WWW::Sitemap::XML::URL::Interface.

    Otherwise the arguments %attrs are passed as-is to create new
    WWW::Sitemap::XML::URL object.

        $map->add(
            loc => 'http://mywebsite.com/',
            lastmod => '2010-11-22',
            changefreq => 'monthly',
            priority => 1.0,
        );

        # single url argument
        $map->add( 'http://mywebsite.com/' );

        # is same as
        $map->add( loc => 'http://mywebsite.com/' );

    Performs basic validation of URLs added:

    *   maximum of 50 000 URLs in single sitemap

    *   URL no longer then 2048 characters

    *   all URLs should use the same protocol and reside on same host

  urls
        my @urls = $map->urls;

    Returns a list of all URL objects added to sitemap.

  load(%sitemap_location)
        $map->load( location => $sitemap_file );

    It is a shortcut for:

        $map->add($_) for $map->read( location => $sitemap_file );

    Please see "read" for details.

  read(%sitemap_location)
        # file or url to sitemap
        my @urls = $map->read( location => $file_or_url );

        # file handle
        my @urls = $map->read( IO => $fh );

        # XML string
        my @urls = $map->read( string => $xml );

    Read the sitemap from file, URL, open file handle or string and return
    the list of WWW::Sitemap::XML::URL objects representing "<url>"
    elements.

  write($file, $format = 0)
        # write to file
        $map->write( 'sitemap.xml', my $pretty_print = 1);

        # or
        my $fh = IO::File->new();
        $fh->open('sitemap.xml', 'w');
        $map->write( $fh, my $pretty_print = 1);
        $cfh->close;

        # write compressed
        $map->write( 'sitemap.xml.gz' );

    Write XML sitemap to $file - a file name or IO::Handle object.

    If file names ends in ".gz" then the output file will be compressed by
    setting compression on XML object - please note that it requires
    *libxml2* to be compiled with *zlib* support.

    Optional $format is passed to "toFH" or "toFile" methods (depending on
    the type of $file, respectively for file handle and file name) as
    described in XML::LibXML.

  as_xml
        my $xml = $map->as_xml;

        # pretty print
        print $xml->toString(1);

        # write compressed
        $xml->setCompression(8);
        $xml->toFile( 'sitemap.xml.gz' );

    Returns XML::LibXML::Document object representing the sitemap in XML
    format.

    The "<url>" elements are built by calling *as_xml* on all URL objects
    added into sitemap.
