GenerateSitemap

This class is used to generate sitemaps. It has the following methods:

• addUrl(array $urlData): Adds a URL to the sitemap. The URL data is an associative array. Needs to be in format above
• export(string $dir = null, string $name = null): Exports the sitemap to an XML file in the base directory of the project. You can specify output directory and file name.
