MVC vs WebForms
Here is a tabular comparison of MVC and Web Forms, highlighting the advantages of MVC over Web Forms.
Difference between the MVC vs WebForm
| Aspect | MVC | Web Forms |
|---|---|---|
| Separation of Concerns | Clear separation with Model, View, and Controller for better maintainability. | Business logic and UI often mix in code-behind files. |
| Control Over HTML | Full control over the HTML, enabling clean and customized markup. | Limited control, as server controls generate bulky markup. |
| Performance | Lightweight with no ViewState or Postbacks, improving performance. | Relies on ViewState, making it heavier and slower. |
| Testing | Highly testable due to its decoupled architecture and support for unit testing. | Difficult to test as business logic and UI are tightly coupled in code-behind files. |
| Client-Side Integration | Easily integrates with JavaScript frameworks like Angular and React. | Difficult to integrate due to reliance on Postbacks. |
| URL Routing | Clean, SEO-friendly URLs through a robust routing system. | Limited and less intuitive URL routing. |
