Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a pattern to separate an application into the following three main components:
- Model
- View
- Controller
The ASP.NET MVC framework provides an alternative to the ASP.NET Web Forms pattern for creating web applications. The ASP.NET MVC Framework is a lightweight, highly testable presentation framework that (as with Web Forms-based applications) is integrated with existing ASP.NET features, such as master pages and membership-based authentications. The MVC framework is defined in the System.Web.MVC assembly. It provides full control over HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. It's the better as well as a recommended approach for large-scale applications where various teams are working together.
The ASP.NET MVC framework offers the following advantages,
- It makes it very easy to manage complexity by dividing an application into the Model, View and Controller.
- It does not use view state or server-based forms.
- Full control over HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
- It provides better support for Test-Driven Development (TDD).
- It works well for Web applications that are supported by large teams of developers and for web designers who need a high degree of control over the application behavior.
- By default support of Facebook and Google Authentication.
- It easy to manage a large application to divide into multiple areas.
