Introduction

In this chapter we are going to talk about using View, something that we have briefly mentioned in a couple of places before. View was created for the benefit of the developer, to strictly separate everything frontend with everything backend. This way backend developers can focus on controllers and models, while frontend developers can work in Views. Another great benefit of View is that View decides how the data is being outputted, so in most cases this would be HTML, in other cases maybe JSON and so on.

We will show you in the last recipe of the chapter how to make our own customizations as well, so that we fully understand how everything works.
