sitemap showing text content

[Balu_M]

Hi,

We are using AEM core component sitemap feature as suggested in below Url,But we are getting plain text when we access sitemap xml.,

When we inspect network then response coming with xml tags but while rendering those tags are getting removed.

Hi @Balu_M ,

I am experiencing similar issue - It's breaking xml and found it's known issue - for more details please check here: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/apache-sling-sitemap-for-a...

Hi,

can you check

1. the view source

2. Response type from Network tab

3. also try in another browser.

I have seen this kind of issue reported here before but the actual response from sitemap was xml but displaying the text from xml nodes

Hi @arunpatidar ,

I can see view source consist of XML data and response type application/xml.

Is this not issue when search engine trying to access sitemap content ?

You may be expecting the mimetype to view xml as response 

content-type:text/xml

But application/xml is recommended as of RFC 7303 (section 4.1), but text/xml is still used sometimes. You can assign a specific MIME type to a file with .xml extension depending on how its contents are meant to be interpreted. For instance, an Atom feed is application/atom+xml, but application/xml serves as a valid default.
