How do I convert an XML sitemap to CSV?

Convert an XML sitemap to CSV in three steps: get the sitemap URL or file, parse the <url><loc> entries, and write each URL as a row alongside optional lastmod, changefreq and priority columns. The fastest path is a web converter — paste the sitemap URL, click convert, download the CSV. The xmlsitemapmaker.com converter handles XML sitemaps, sitemap-index files (followed automatically), HTML sitemap pages and plain-text URL lists, and exports CSV, Excel, TXT or JSON. For one-off conversions you can also use Excel's built-in importer (Data → Get Data → From XML), but it doesn't follow sitemap-index files and Excel mangles long URLs. For scripting, Python's xml.etree.ElementTree handles namespaces cleanly.
