The HTML <menu> element represents a group of commands that a user can perform or activate. This includes both toolbar menus, which might appear across the top of a screen, as well as popup menus, such as those that might appear underneath a button after it has been clicked.

Usage note:

The <menu> and <ul> elements both represent an unordered list of items. The key difference is that <ul> primarily contains items for display, whilst <menu> is intended for interactive items, to act on.
