A single Sitemap template is used to generate the `sitemap.xml` file.
Hugo automatically comes with this template file. *No work is needed on
the users' part unless they want to customize `sitemap.xml`.*
A sitemap is a `Page` and therefore has all the [page variables][pagevars] available to use in this template along with Sitemap-specific ones:
`.Sitemap.ChangeFreq`
: The page change frequency
`.Sitemap.Priority`
: The priority of the page
`.Sitemap.Filename`
: The sitemap filename
If provided, Hugo will use `/layouts/sitemap.xml` instead of the internal `sitemap.xml` template that ships with Hugo.
## Hugos sitemap.xml
This template respects the version 0.9 of the [Sitemap Protocol](http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html).
```
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
{{ range .Data.Pages }}
<url>
<loc>{{ .Permalink }}</loc>{{ if not .Lastmod.IsZero }}
<lastmod>{{ safeHTML ( .Lastmod.Format "2006-01-02T15:04:05-07:00" ) }}</lastmod>{{ end }}{{ with .Sitemap.ChangeFreq }}
<changefreq>{{ . }}</changefreq>{{ end }}{{ if ge .Sitemap.Priority 0.0 }}
<priority>{{ .Sitemap.Priority }}</priority>{{ end }}
</url>
{{ end }}
</urlset>
```
{{% note %}}
Hugo will automatically add the following header line to this file
on render. Please don't include this in the template as it's not valid HTML.
`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>`
{{% /note %}}
## Configure `sitemap.xml`
Defaults for `<changefreq>`, `<priority>` and `filename` values can be set in the site's config file, e.g.:
```
[sitemap]
changefreq = "monthly"
priority = 0.5
filename = "sitemap.xml"
```
The same fields can be specified in an individual content file's front matter in order to override the value assigned to that piece of content at render time.
