This tool will crawl any sitemap.xml, validate, parse and check each URL, if a sitemap index is found it will be added for processing.

It validates that each sitemaps.xml follows the XML schemas for sitemaps: http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd and for Sitemap index files: http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/siteindex.xsd

Then it checks each URL and returns its HTTP response code, Time, Meta Robots, Cache Control.

If any URL fails, Sitemap Validator fails as well (also it fails if sitemap isn't in correct format).

This application is intended to run in CI/CD environment like Gitlab with Docker.
