The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture is a widely used software architecture in application development, especially for web applications. It divides an application into three main components: the Model, the View, and the Controller.
- The Model represents the business logic, which includes the data and the rules that govern the application.
- The View is responsible for displaying data to the user and managing the user interface.
- The Controller acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View; it receives user commands through the interface, interprets them, and then requests the Model to update the data or the View to modify the display accordingly.
This separation of responsibilities helps structure the code more clearly, making it easier to maintain, reuse, and collaborate, as developers can work simultaneously on different parts of the application without interference.
