What is the difference between View and layer in application architecture?

In application architecture, the View is a component responsible for displaying data to the user and interacting with them. It handles the visual presentation and processing of user events.

A layer is a broader concept, referring to an abstraction level in architecture that can include multiple components, such as the presentation layer (View), business logic layer, data access layer, etc.

That is, the View is part of the presentation layer, and a layer is a structural element of architecture that groups related components by functionality.

Example:

• The presentation layer (View Layer) contains all UI components (Views), controllers, and event handlers.
• The business logic layer is responsible for rules and data processing.
• The data layer manages interaction with the database.
