We will crawl sitemap which tells search engines which pages and file are important in the website, it also provides valuable information about these files. This example builds a sitemap crawler which downloads and crawls the URLs from a sitemap, by using the <ApiLink to="utils/class/Sitemap">`Sitemap`</ApiLink> utility class provided by the <ApiLink to="utils">`@crawlee/utils`</ApiLink> module.
