    XML sitemap is an xml document that helps Google and other search engines better understand your website while crawling it. Or we can say that XML sitemap is a list of URLs on a website that is accessible by search engine crawlers or spiders.

    sitemap is a file contain all the urls of website to make easy for crawler to crawl whole website at same time.

    robots.txt is a file which we used to assign permission of crawling or not crawling (of website) for the crawlers.

    Robot.txt helps to tell search engine, which all pages of the website need to be crawled. Whereas Sitemap.xml file have a list of all the website URL's with the parameter's like change frequency, last modified date, priority of each individual page with home page.

    For a website, it is important to include both this file i.e. sitemap and robot file in the root of the website.

    Sitemap.xml - XML Sitemap like a blueprint for your house and each web page were a room.
    XML Sitemaps are important for SEO because they make it easier for Google to find your site’s pages—this is important because Google ranks the web pages, not just websites.

    Robots.txt - The most common usage of Robots.txt is to ban crawlers from visiting private folders or content that gives them no additional information. Robots.txt Allowing Access to Specific Crawlers.
    Allow everything apart from certain patterns of URLs.

    In SEO,
    sitemap.xml: It is a file which contains all the URLS of a website and its webpages
    robots.txt: It is a file in which we write commands to instruct web crawlers to not visit the mentioned links or webpages.

    Through sitemap, you can crawl each and every single webpage of your website to search engine

    Through robot.txt, you can give instructions to search engine about which webpage you want to crawl and which you don't.

    XML Sitemap is a way that website owners to notify search engines about all the existing page on their website. ... Sitemap does not help to increase search engine ranking of the website but it allows Search Engine crawler better website.
