XF 2.1 sitemap.php or sitemap.xml in robots.txt

[soloarquitectura]

I have seen that here, in XenForo, sitemap.xml is used instead of sitemap.php in robots.txt

https://xenforo.com/robots.txt

Is there any difference or advantage in doing so?

Google seems to be preferring .xml in some cases. As long as you are using a very recent version of XF 2.0 or XF 2.1 and you have friendly URLs enabled then we'd recommend using the .xml version.
