What is MVC (Model-View-Controller)?

An architectural pattern that separates an application into three components: data (Model), interface (View), and logic (Controller).

MVC promotes separation of concerns. The Model manages data and business logic. The View presents data to users. The Controller handles user input, updates the Model, and selects Views. This separation makes code more organized and testable.

MVC is used in many web frameworks: Laravel (PHP), Django (Python, uses MTV variant), Ruby on Rails, Spring MVC (Java), and ASP.NET MVC. Related patterns include MVVM and MVP.
