MVC (or Model-view-controller) is a popular software framework for successfully and e!ciently relating the
user interface to underlying data models. Since the programming language Smalltalk "rst de"ned the MVC
concept in the 1970s.

MVC Framework is common to think of an application as having three main layers: presentation (UI),
application logic, and resource management. In MVC, the presentation layer is split into controller and view.
The most important separation is between presentation and application logic. The View/Controller split is less
so.

In other words, the model contains:

The model (core functionality and data)

Views display information to the user.

Controllers handle user input.

Views and controllers together comprise the user interface. A change-propagation mechanism ensures
consistency between the user interface and the model.

The model-view-controller pattern proposes three main components or objects to be used in software
development:

Model represents the underlying, logical structure of data in a software application and the high-level class
associated with it. This object model does not contain any information about the user interface.

View a collection of classes representing the elements in the user interface (all of the things the user can
see and respond to on the screen, such as buttons, display boxes, and so forth)

Controller represents the classes connecting the model and the view and is used to communicate between
classes in the model and view.

MVC Framework has been widely used by many software developers and other software frameworks and
libraries. Traditionally used for desktop graphical user interfaces (GUIs), this pattern has become popular for
designing web applications. Popular programming languages like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, and C #
have MVC frameworks that are used in web application development straight out of the box.

A Generic MVC Sequence Diagram Example

In the generic MVC sequence diagram below, it shows the view object is responsible for user input and output,
i.e. a dialog box is a good example of a view. A controller object implements the logic for the allowable
transactions that can be performed on the model. The model object encapsulates the "ne-grained business
logic and data.

MVC Sequence Diagram Example: Hotel Reservation

Fragment
This sequence diagram example shows how hotel reservations can be made. This sequence diagram captures
the behavior of a single hotel reservation scenario by showing a number of example objects and the messages
that are passed between these objects as shown in the diagram below:
