Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a software architectural pattern that separates an application's logic into three interconnected components: the Model, the View, and the Controller. This separation allows for more organized, scalable, and maintainable code. Originally conceived for graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in the late 1970s, MVC has become a popular and effective approach for designing web applications. The inherent structure of MVC promotes a clear division of responsibilities, which can make the development process more efficient and collaborative.
