<p>Opencart is a free to use, open source ecommerce platform for online vendors to manage their stores and businesses online. Opencart is a <strong>PHP based framework</strong> that employs HTML and queries using mySQL to function both on mobile devices and desktops.</p>

<p>Opencart uses MVC framework to function. A Model View Controller architecture abbreviated as MVC is a framework with 4 basic parts:</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Model</strong>: All the data of the website comes under Model part</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li><strong>View</strong>: View is the part displayed to user. We can keep a check as to how much of data should be visible to user.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Controller</strong>: Controller is the basic functions and codes that allows interaction between the Model and the View part.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Language</strong>: Language option sets aside rules for languages when required. Mostly required for websites with multiple language options.</li>
</ul>

<p>Opencart development consists of two parts, admin and catalog. The admin part is the <strong>CMS</strong> or to be basically put, the back-end tool to manage data. Catalog is the front-end part which includes display components and themes. The better part about OpenCart is that the two parts though connected to each other, are completely different. Any changes of admin part won&rsquo;t affect catalog and vice versa.</p>

<p>Under each admin and catalog folder are folders for MVCL components. The other folders in Opencart installation are System folder, which contains all the classes, functions and arrays used by admin and catalog, the Image folder which contains all the pictures used in the development and design of the website and the Download folder that contains the downloaded files associated with the product.</p>
