📘XML Node

The XML Node is used to create an XML document, such as a sitemap.

Webstudio automatically generates a sitemap for static pages such as Home and About. If you are integrating with a CMS, you can use this component to create a sitemap for CMS data.

Will display when Document Type is set to "XML"

How to use the XML Node component

1. Go to Page Settings > Document Type and select XML from the dropdown

   
2. Go to Components > XML and add XML Node (this component won’t show until Step 1 is completed)

3. Set the tag and text content (e.g., “loc” and “https://example.com)

Tips

• XML Nodes can be nested within each other

• Use Collection to iterate over a list of data

• A sitemap skeleton is available in the Marketplace

Including the static sitemap

While you can use the autogenerated sitemap for static pages and create a separate sitemap for dynamic pages, you can also combine the two.

To include the static sitemap data in your custom sitemap, follow these steps:

1. Create a page

2. In the page settings, set the Document Type to XML

3. Set the page path to /sitemap.xml. This will override the default sitemap.

4. Fetch the static data by clicking Create Variable > System Resource (Type) > Sitemap (Resource)

   
5. Use a Collection to iterate over the static sitemap data
