Clean Architecture vs Other Architectures: MVC, MVVM, Hexagonal
Clean Architecture is often compared with MVC, MVVM, and Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters).
1. MVC (Model-View-Controller):
- Simple, but often tightly couples business logic with UI.
2. MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel):
- Better separation, but still UI-dependent.
3. Hexagonal Architecture:
- Very similar to Clean Architecture.
- Focuses on Ports & Adapters → aligns well with Clean Architecture’s Dependency Rule.
4. Clean Architecture:
- Extends Hexagonal ideas.
- Provides a layered, concentric-circle model for clarity.
- Focused on independence from frameworks.
Clean Architecture is best suited for complex, long-living applications where adaptability and scalability matter.
