MVC (Model-View-Controller)
Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a software architectural pattern that divides an application into three interconnected components, each with a distinct responsibility. The Model component manages the application’s data, business logic, and rules. The View component is responsible for displaying the data to the user, presenting the user interface (UI). The Controller component acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View, handling user input, processing it, and updating both the Model and the View accordingly. This separation of concerns facilitates modular development, easier maintenance, and testing, as well as improved scalability. MVC is widely used in web development frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET, and Django, promoting a clean, organized approach to coding.
