Semantic is a UI component framework based around useful principles from natural language.
How semantic-ui is put together
Semantic UI is a front-end UI framework distributed as a themable CSS/JS component library. Its source consists of LESS stylesheets and jQuery-plugin JavaScript modules under src/definitions/, organized by category (globals, elements, collections, views, modules, behaviors), each paired with themeable .variables/.overrides files under src/_site/. A Gulp 4-based Node build pipeline (tasks/) compiles, minifies, optionally RTL-flips, and bundles these sources into dist/, driven by a user-supplied semantic.json config merged over defaults. There is no server, datastore, or runtime backend; the only network-facing code is the client-side api.js behavior that wraps jQuery AJAX.

Frameworks
Infrastructure
Major components
src/definitions/globals
Global reset and site-wide base styles plus the site.js global behavior.
src/definitions/elements
LESS definitions for basic UI elements such as button, header, icon, input, label, and segment.
src/definitions/collections
LESS definitions for grouped UI like breadcrumb, form, grid, menu, message, and table.
src/definitions/views
LESS definitions for content views such as card, comment, feed, item, statistic, and ad.
src/definitions/modules
jQuery interactive widgets (dropdown, modal, popup, accordion, checkbox, tab, transition, etc.) with matching LESS.
src/definitions/behaviors
Cross-cutting jQuery behaviors: api.js (AJAX requests/caching), form.js (validation/serialization), visibility.js.
tasks/
Gulp build system: install wizard, watch, clean, version bumping, CSS/JS compilation/minification, RTL builds, docs builds, and admin release/publish automation.
src/_site + src/themes + src/theme.config
Three-level theming layer where user site overrides and selectable themes supply LESS variables consumed by definitions.
