What is difference between 3-layer architecture and MVC architecture?

by Vikas Singh on Sep

In 3-layer architecture

• 3-layer architecture separates the application into 3 components which consists of Presentation layer business layer and D ATA Access Layer.
  
  
• In 3-layer architecture, user interacts with the Presentation layer.
  
  
• 3-layer is a linear architecture.

In MVC

• MVC architecture separates the application into three components which consists of Model, View and Controller.
  
  
• In MVC architecture, the user interacts and the controller with the "Help" view. MVC is a triangle architecture.
  
  
• MVC does not replace 3-layer architecture. Typically 3-layer and MVC are used together and MVC acts as the Presentation layer.
