    The simplest explanation is that XML is primarily for the search engines while HTML is written for the users. A XML sitemap protocol is specifically intended for search engine spiders. At its root, XML is a file that includes all the behind the scenes activity on a web site.

    XML sitemap is specially designed for the search engines as it is submitted to the webmaster tools for crawling the website.
    HTML sitemap is designed for humans as they can clearly see it on the website as an extra web page and all the visitors of the website can make use of it for understanding the website.

    HTML sitemap is a plain text sitemap used by browsers to know and surf through your website pages. XML sitemap is a coded sitemap used to submit in webmaster tool to help spiders crawl them and index the webpages in search engines.

    HTML sitemaps are used for easy navigation by users whereas XML Sitemaps are submitted in Google Webmaster Tool, to let crawlers index a set of webpages URL mentioned in it.
