Model View Contoller – a … design pattern often used by applications that need the ability to maintain multiple views of the same data.¹

Model

• Encapsulates core application data and functionality Domain Logic/Business Logic.
• Since the model must be independent, it cannot refer to either the view or controller portions of the application.

View

• obtains data from the model and presents it to the user.

Controller

• receives and translates input to requests on the model or the view.
