What is MVC in ASP.NET Core?

Q: What is MVC in ASP.NET Core?

Short answer: How does it differ from MVC in “older” ASP.NET? MVC (Model-View-Controller) is a pattern for organizing code into: Model: Data and business logic View: UI rendering Controller: Input handling and app flow Built on a modular, cross-platform framework. Uses dependency injection by default. Unified Web API + MVC pipeline. Lightweight and middleware-based request processing. Real-world example (ShopNest) A ShopNest checkout request flows through middleware, hits a minimal API or controller, uses scoped services, and returns ProblemDetails on errors. Say this in the interview Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above). Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
