Model-View Controller (MVC)

Model-View Controller (MVC) is a design pattern that separates an application into three main components: the model, the view, and the controller. The model represents the application's data and business logic, the view displays the data to the user, and the controller handles user input and updates the model and view accordingly. MVC promotes a clear separation of concerns, making applications easier to manage, test, and maintain.
