The View is a visual representation of the Model (M in MVC) but with some subtle differences. As a part of these differences, the View tends to remove, add, and/or transform specific Model attributes, with the aim of making the Model understandable for the users interacting with the View.

Since the Model is sometimes complex, many views can be used to represent one part of it, and, conversely, many parts of the Model can be included as only one part of the View.
