What is Site Definition?
A set of predefined components needs to be included when a site was created in the SharePoint server. The site definition contains the information of Web parts, Lists, Features, and Navigation Bars to be included in the site.
Site Definition:
By default SharePoint comes with several OOB site definitions which you can select to create your site. In the file system these definitions are available in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates.
Each of this site definition consists a XML folder and a Home page (default.aspx). Some of the site definition will be having some more details about the definition which we will walkthrough in more detail later.
The XML folder of the site definition contains the ONET.XML (Office .NET) file. This file contains the information about all the web parts, Lists, Features and Navigation Bars.
The configuration of this site definitions are defined in another XML file which is available in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE\1033\XML folder.
Following is the detail of the XML configuration file and the respective site definitions
