    Sitemap.html (generated either by Php or by asp etc) is sitemap for human visitors. It’s a visual representation of site structure with clickable links.
    Sitemap.xml is for web crawlers(contains list of URLs for crawling).

    The HTML sitemap is for humans. It is a quick map/overview of the pages on your site which are listed using links (with anchor text). People can use it to locate a page they need quickly and easily.

    The XML sitemap is for search engine spiders/bots. It is there to tell the search engines which URLs are part of your website. It appears as code. It helps the search engines find pages that they might miss on a normal crawl and it is also good if you have dynamic content or is new. Submit the XML sitemap as a feed in webmaster tools.

    Post Re :

    Sitemap.xml contains all the url's of the website and its related information.Generally, sitemap.xml is used by web crawlers.Sitemap.html is used by visitors.Both are important for the seo process.

    XML SITE MAP:The XML sitemap module creates a sitemap that conforms to the sitemaps.org specification.This is for search engine robots
    HTML SITE MAP:An HTML sitemap allows site visitors to easily navigate a website. It is a bulleted outline text version of the site navigation.This is for humans.

    Yo can use .XML site map for submission on search engine and .HTML site map helping for visitor. Sitemap of .XML is more secure then .HTML sitemap.

    They both are being used by webmasters to help their sites getting better accessed by people and also crawled by search engines and actually there is no major difference between the systems and if you are currently using one of them, perhaps there is no need to use the other one because the effects on your website status will be almost the same.

    HTML sitemaps are great because they can be seen and accessed by people as well as search engines and since they are static in nature, purely created in HTML in most cases, so the links mentioned inside the pages will be easily accessed by search engines too. XML solution can also be great, especially for websites which have lots of pages.

    HTML site map is mainly for the for ease of navigation , they are easy to undesrtand..they are mainly for the human and not for the search engine..the problem with the HTML site map they are not able to updated by itself..

    XML sitemap are for the search engine ..they are not understandable for a normal internet user..but they are automatic up datable ..you can set frequency over there
