MVC vs MVVM vs MVP vs VIPER: Which design architecture is suitable for iOS?

The architectural patterns of design are the ones that aid in de-cluttering and organizing the code. And, regardless of whether you are developing an iOS app yourself, or you are hiring an iOS App Development Company to do the job for you, it is important for you to understand the options that you have in this regard.

There was a time, not too long back, when designing an iOS app meant relying on one of the three design patterns, namely, the singleton pattern, the decorator pattern, and the bridge design pattern. But, since these patterns started throwing up issues of interactions among client and server, iOS moved towards the newer and better patterns of MVP, MVVM, MVC, and Viper.

So, which of these design architecture is the best suited for iOS? Let’s run a thorough analysis of it all, and see for ourselves.

The MVC pattern

MVC, short for Module View Controller, was introduced by Trygve Reenskaug, a Norwegian computer engineer. Given the fact that it has been around since 1970, makes it pretty much the grandfather of the other patterns on this list. It was, in fact, the first approach towards object-oriented programming.

View displays everything for the user of the system. Model handles the business entities, databases, and the rest of the data. Controller has the responsibility to handle the work of the model, provide data to database, and bring the data from the view to the database and vice versa.
