Simplifying Software Architecture: Understanding MVC, MVP, and MVVM

Understanding software architecture patterns is very important as applications grow more complex.

All patterns share two core components: the Model (handling data and business logic) and the View (managing user interface).

MVC uses a Controller as a traffic coordinator, allowing direct Model-View communication. MVP employs a Presenter as a strict mediator, ensuring all communication flows through it. MVVM introduces data binding through a ViewModel, automatically syncing data changes with the View.

Choose MVC for simpler web applications, MVP for highly testable systems, and MVVM for data-heavy applications with complex UIs. Companies like Stack Overflow, Google, and Apple use these patterns based on their specific needs.
