Sitemap Generator

Summary

This little utility, given a starting URL, will crawl a website and find all the static assets and links on that site.

Design Goals

• Crawl an entire site and report on its structure
• Flexible output formats (i.e. json, tab, digraph)
• Customize performance characteristics

Design Decisions

• The utility will stay within the same domain
• THe utility, when it finds duplicate URLs, it will not traverse into its links, but still report on the links found.

Features

• Ability to save results to a file
• Set number of worker threads/goroutines to crawl a site
• Set rate limiter, if desired
• Set inactivity timeout
• Read in saved results and redisplay in different formats
