        ['url' => 'https://example.com/img/about.jpg', 'title' => 'About Us']
    ]);
    // Add more items as needed...
    
    // Render XML using a view template
    $items = $sitemap->getModel()->getItems();
    return response()->view('sitemap.xml', compact('items'), 200, ['Content-Type' => 'application/xml']);
}

Route registration:

Route::get('/sitemap.xml', [SitemapController::class, 'sitemap']);

    'weekly',
    images: [['url' => 'https://example.com/img/news.jpg', 'title' => 'News Image']],
    title: 'News Article',
    translations: [['language' => 'fr', 'url' => 'https://example.com/fr/news']],
    videos: [['title' => 'News Video', 'description' => 'Video description']],
    googlenews: [
        'sitename' => 'Example News',
        'language' => 'en',
        'publication_date' => now(),
    ],
    alternates: [['media' => 'print', 'url' => 'https://example.com/news-print']]
);

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class SitemapController
{
    public function sitemap(): Response
    {
        $sitemap = new Sitemap();

        $sitemap->add('https://example.com/contact', (new \DateTime())->format(DATE_ATOM), '0.5', 'monthly');
        // Add more items as needed...
        
        // Render XML
        $xml = $sitemap->renderXml();
        return new Response($xml, 200, ['Content-Type' => 'application/xml']);
    }
}

Route registration:

Generic PHP Example

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Rumenx\Sitemap\Sitemap;

$sitemap = new Sitemap();
$sitemap->add('https://example.com/', date('c'), '1.0', 'daily');
$sitemap->add(
    'https://example.com/products',
    date('c'),
    '0.9',
    'weekly',
    images: [['url' => 'https://example.com/img/product.jpg', 'title' => 'Product Image']]
);

// Output XML
header('Content-Type: application/xml');
echo $sitemap->renderXml();

---

Advanced Features

// Add with all supported fields
$sitemap->add(
    'https://example.com/news',
    date('c'),
    '0.8',
    'daily',
    images: [['url' => 'https://example.com/img/news.jpg', 'title' => 'News Image']],
    title: 'News Article',
    translations: [['language' => 'fr', 'url' => 'https://example.com/fr/news']],
    videos: [['title' => 'News Video', 'description' => 'Video description']],
    googlenews: [
        'sitename' => 'Example News',
        'language' => 'en',
        'publication_date' => date('c'),
    ],
    alternates: [['media' => 'print', 'url' => 'https://example.com/news-print']]
);

// Generate XML using renderXml() method
$xml = $sitemap->renderXml();
file_put_contents('sitemap.xml', $xml);

// Or use view templates for more control (create your own views based on src/views/)
$items = $sitemap->getModel()->getItems();
// Pass $items to your view template

---

add() vs addItem()

You can add sitemap entries using either the add() or addItem() methods:

add() — Simple, type-safe, one-at-a-time:

// Recommended for most use cases
$sitemap->add(
    'https://example.com/',
    date('c'),
    '1.0',
    'daily',
    images: [['url' => 'https://example.com/img.jpg', 'title' => 'Image']],
    title: 'Homepage'
);

addItem() — Advanced, array-based, supports batch:

// Add a single item with an array (all fields as keys)
$sitemap->addItem([
    'loc' => 'https://example.com/about',
    'lastmod' => date('c'),
    'priority' => '0.8',
    'freq' => 'monthly',
    'title' => 'About Us',
    'images' => [['url' => 'https://example.com/img/about.jpg', 'title' => 'About Us']],
]);

// Add multiple items at once (batch add)
$sitemap->addItem([
    [
        'loc' => 'https://example.com/page1',
        'title' => 'Page 1',
    ],
    [
        'loc' => 'https://example.com/page2',
        'title' => 'Page 2',
    ],
]);

• Use add() for simple, explicit, one-at-a-time additions (recommended for most users).
• Use addItem() for advanced, batch, or programmatic additions with arrays (e.g., when looping over database results).

🔧 New Features

Fluent Interface (Method Chaining)

Chain methods for more elegant and readable code:

$sitemap = (new Sitemap())
    ->add('https://example.com/', date('c'), '1.0', 'daily')
    ->add('https://example.com/about', date('c'), '0.8', 'monthly')
    ->add('https://example.com/contact', date('c'), '0.6', 'yearly')
    ->store('xml', 'sitemap', './public');

Type-Safe Configuration

Configure sitemaps with a fluent, type-safe configuration class:

use Rumenx\Sitemap\Config\SitemapConfig;

$config = (new SitemapConfig())
    ->setEscaping(true)
    ->setStrictMode(true)
    ->setUseGzip(true)
    ->setDefaultFormat('xml');

$sitemap = new Sitemap($config);

Input Validation

Enable strict mode to automatically validate all input:

$config = new SitemapConfig(strictMode: true);
$sitemap = new Sitemap($config);

// Valid data works fine
$sitemap->add('https://example.com', '2023-12-01', '0.8', 'daily');

// Invalid data throws InvalidArgumentException
try {
    $sitemap->add('not-a-url', '2023-12-01', '2.0', 'sometimes');
} catch (\InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    echo "Validation error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Multiple Format Support

Render sitemaps in different formats:

$sitemap = new Sitemap();
$sitemap->add('https://example.com/', date('c'), '1.0', 'daily');

// Render as XML
$xml = $sitemap->render('xml');

// Render as HTML
$html = $sitemap->render('html');

// Render as plain text
$txt = $sitemap->render('txt');

// Save to file
$sitemap->store('xml', 'sitemap', './public');

---

🎨 Rendering Options

The package provides multiple ways to generate sitemap output:

1. Built-in XML Renderer (Simple)

$sitemap = new Sitemap();
$sitemap->add('https://example.com/', date('c'), '1.0', 'daily');
$xml = $sitemap->renderXml(); // Returns XML string

2. View Templates (Flexible)

For more control, use the included view templates or create your own:

$sitemap = new Sitemap();
$sitemap->add('https://example.com/', date('c'), '1.0', 'daily');

// Get the data for your view
$items = $sitemap->getModel()->getItems();

// Laravel: Use response()->view() or view()->render()
return response()->view('sitemap.xml', compact('items'), 200, ['Content-Type' => 'application/xml']);

// Symfony: Use Twig templates
return $this->render('sitemap.xml.twig', ['items' => $items], new Response('', 200, ['Content-Type' => 'application/xml']));

// Generic PHP: Include view templates
ob_start();
include 'vendor/rumenx/php-sitemap/src/views/xml.php';
$xml = ob_get_clean();

Available view templates in src/views/:

• xml.php - Standard XML sitemap
• xml-mobile.php - Mobile-specific sitemap
• google-news.php - Google News sitemap
• sitemapindex.php - Sitemap index
• txt.php - Plain text format
• html.php - HTML format
