MVVM - what is viewModel??

[Jason Low]

Hi guys,

Im not sure if this is the right place, but it seems to fit in here than anywhere else.

Anyway, my question is what is viewModel?? It quite confusing, I would just like to confirm my understanding of it. Is it the layer that converts the Model from one format or object into another for the View to render?

Edit: sorry I meant viewModel and not model view.


Thanks in advance.
