Build a sitemap generator in Next.js

Next.js is a widely used React production framework that enhances the performance of React applications with features such as hybrid static and server-side rendering, route prefetching, and image optimization, among others. While it efficiently addresses challenges in building single-page applications (SPAs) with React, handling SEO in Next.js can be complex, necessitating an understanding of its page rendering capabilities. A crucial aspect of SEO is the inclusion of a sitemap, which helps search engines index websites more effectively. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to setting up a dynamic sitemap in a Next.js application, involving creating and configuring a project to automatically generate a sitemap for each page, using tools like globby for file system scanning. It also addresses potential issues with package compatibility and offers solutions to ensure smooth operation. Additionally, tools like LogRocket are recommended for debugging and monitoring Next.js applications, offering features that capture user sessions, errors, and performance metrics to enhance the development process.
