Both site map have their owne good ness, XML- use for search engine HTML- this one is used for site visitor
Both sitemap has their own usage. XML sitemap is useful for the web spiders and HTML sitemap is for users. Using XML sitemap, spider visits on pages listed in the sitemap and index those pages in the search engine index and with the help of html sitemap, user can visit every section of your website and this makes your website navigation easy to use. These days some of website does not use html sitemap as they show all of their links in the footer. e.g. www.expertmagentodevelopers.com
