This is a container for all the URLs in the sitemap. For sitemaps, the version should be 1.0, and the encoding must be UTF‑8. It also states the version of XML and character encoding used. This tells search engines that they’re reading an XML file. They can look a bit daunting if you’ve never seen one before. XML sitemaps are made for search engines, not humans.
