• #14285 bedc31b Thanks @jdcolombo! - Adds a new configuration option namespaces for more control over XML namespaces used in sitemap generation

  Excluding unused namespaces can help create cleaner, more focused sitemaps that are faster for search engines to parse and use less bandwidth. If your site doesn’t have news content, videos, or multiple languages, you can exclude those namespaces to reduce XML bloat.

  The namespaces option allows you to configure news, xhtml, image, and video namespaces independently. All namespaces are enabled by default for backward compatibility and no change to existing projects is necessary. But now, you can choose to streamline your XML and avoid unnecessary code.

  For example, to exclude the video namespace from your sitemap, set video: false in your configuration:

  import { sitemap } from '@astrojs/sitemap';
  
  export default {
    integrations: [
      sitemap({
        namespaces: {
          video: false,
          // other namespaces remain enabled by default
        }
      })
    ]
  };

  The generated XML will not include the xmlns:video namespace:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <urlset
    xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
    xmlns:news="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-news/0.9"
    xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1"
  >
    <!-- ... -->
  </urlset>
