Introduction to MVC[edit]

The model-view-controller consists of the model, view, and controller.

  • The model interacts with data inputted and stored in the system.
  • The view allows the user to have a visual representation of the data and choose how they want to manipulate it.
  • The controller acts as a liaison between the model and view which will never communicate directly with each other.

The MVC system was introduced in the 1970's, but expressed as a general concept later in 1988. The system has evolved over time with many variations, such as hierarchical model-view-controller (HMVC), model-view-viewmodel (MVVM), model-view-presenter (MVP), model-view-adapter (MVA), and many other adaptations of the MVC system.
