Explain the MVT (Model-View-Template) architecture in Django.

Re-explain

MVT splits a Django app into three parts: a model, a view and a template. In Model-View-Controller (MVC) terms, the controller is the framework itself, the URL dispatcher that sends each request to the right view.

  • The model defines the data structure and the business logic tied to that data. It works with the database through the Django ORM, which maps classes to tables.
  • The view holds the business logic for one request and acts as the bridge between model and template. It takes the request and returns a response.
  • The template is the presentation layer, usually HTML. It defines how the data is displayed to users.

The URL dispatcher routes each request to a view. The view processes the request and works with the models. It then renders a template with the data, and Django sends the response to the user.
