Abbreviated as MVC,
Model-View-Controller is the
term used to describe a
software paradigm that separates objects into one of
three categories:
- models for maintaining data
- views for displaying all or a portion of the data
- controllers for handling events that affect the model or views.
In this separation, the view and controller depend on the model. However, the
model does not depend on either of the two making it so the model can be built
and tested independent of the visual presentation.
The Struts Framework is one of many
examples of Web application development standards that is based on the
Model-View-Controller design paradigm.
