What are the main differences between Viper and Clean Architecture?

The question is about VIPER

Answer:

The main differences between Viper and Clean Architecture are in their structure and application flexibility. Viper is one of the concrete implementations of Clean Architecture in iOS projects. It has well-defined components: View, Interactor, Presenter, Entity, and Router. This architecture strongly enforces the separation of concerns, making Viper highly organized but sometimes rigid.
Clean Architecture represents a far more general design architecture-organizing code with respect to layers like Presentation, Domain, and Data-rather than roles. It is also more flexible, as it might be easily implemented on different platforms according to the needs of a project. It allows developers to extend the components if needed. While in Viper it’s more structured for iOS, Clean Architecture is broader in its applicability and customization, hence it would be more appropriate for a wide range of types of projects on different platforms.
