Answer from AI
The main architectural approaches and models used in application development include:
-
Monolithic architecture — all components of the application are tightly coupled and deployed as a single unit.
-
Client-server architecture — separation into client and server parts that interact over a network.
-
Multilayer (n-tier) architecture — dividing the application into layers, such as presentation (UI), business logic, and data access.
-
MVC (Model-View-Controller) — separation into data model, view, and controller that manages interactions.
-
MVP (Model-View-Presenter) — similar to MVC but with a clearer separation of responsibilities between View and Presenter.
-
MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) — used for binding UI with business logic through ViewModel, popular in WPF and Xamarin.
-
Clean Architecture — separation into layers with clear dependencies inward, to improve testability and maintainability.
-
Microservices architecture — the application is divided into independent services that interact via APIs.
The choice of approach depends on project requirements, scalability, and ease of maintenance.
