# Interactive View

Modern frameworks and technologies allow splitting the frontend and backend completely, transforming the view into an interactive client which handles all communication with the server.

## Architecture

This mixes well with client-server architectures.

## State

Data such as results from requests, or the user information, can be stored locally by the frontend client, which now handles part or the totallity of the application state.

## Example

A Spring MVC application offers REST web services. The client is a REACT with Redux client. Both the backend and frontend can be in different servers.

## Advantages

* Easier to generate interactive views
* Changing view does not require reloading
* Local context and data storage
* Frontend and backend dissociated

## Disadvantages

* Heavy frontend
* Requires more knowledge
* Sessions are harder to handle
