architecture
• The model-view-controller (MVC) architecture
separates an application's data, user interface,
and control logic
• MVC is a pattern for the architecture of a
software application. It separates an application
into the following components:

• Views for handling graphical user interface
objects and presentation
User requests being processed as
follows
1. The browser (on the client) sends a request
for a page to the controller on the server.
2. The controller retrieves the data it needs
from the model in order to respond to the
request.
3. The controller gives the retrieved data to the
view.
4. The view is rendered and sent back to the
client for the browser to display.
