Java-Sitemapper is a Java API for building sitemap files to improve search indexing on Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and Ask.com. The project targets Java developers burdened with creating and maintaining sitemap XML files using full-scale sitemap-building applications, scripts, or the Java DOM API. Our solution is an easy-to-use package where sitemaps can be built in as little as 3 steps: 1. Create a sitemap container (1 method call). 2. Add locations and location attributes (the number of methods increases based on the number of locations in your sitemap, but a location and all its attributes can easily be created with 1 method call). 3. Write the sitemap container to disk as "sitemap.xml" (1 method call). For an example of how to use the package, please refer to our documentation. Our project strives to implement the latest in search technology, and by version 1.0.0, we hope to include support for other sitemapping protocols, such as video and geo sitemapping. Suggestions for support of other search technologies are welcomed.
