About

OpenSearch is a specification that describes a website's search engine, enabling browsers, apps, and services to discover and integrate it.

It is implemented as a linked XML file and was originally developed by Amazon to make it easier for other applications to integrate their search services.

A sitemap is a file in XML format that allows webmasters to inform search engines about URLs on a website that are available for web crawling.
