🆚 Open Graph vs. Sitemap

The Open Graph protocol is a web metadata standard that defines how webpages are described as structured objects for use in social graphs and enables their consistent representation.

It specifies a set of HTML meta properties that start with "og:" (such as og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:description) to add semantic meaning to a page's content and control how that content should be represented.

A sitemap is a specialized XML file that lists a website's URLs and helps search engines discover pages available for crawling and indexing.

It can contain metadata such as last modification dates, update frequency, and page priority, supports extensions for images, videos, news, and multilingual pages, and is typically referenced through the <link rel="sitemap"> HTML element or the robots.txt file.
