About this regex

This PCRE2 regex matches `<url>` elements within an XML sitemap, specifically extracting the `<loc>`, `<lastmod>`, `<changefreq>`, and `<priority>` tags into named capture groups. It allows for up to three optional properties to appear both before and after the `<loc>` tag, using atomic groups to optimize performance and prevent backtracking. It is highly effective for efficiently parsing and extracting URL data from standard XML sitemaps.
