Layered Modular Architecture: Evolving Clean Architecture for Multiplatform and Reduced Duplication
Layered Modular Architecture Overview This article introduces the approach to the Layered Modular Architecture(LMA), demonstrated through the Sunflower Clone project. Note: Edited in 2025/1/11. Disclaimer: This is not an entirely new architecture but rather an extension of Clean Architecture, introducing new concerns and a revised modularization strategy. Its relationship to Clean Architecture is similar to that of MVI to MVVM. Given these differences, I felt it deserved its own name, even though it shares the same foundational concepts. Introduction How can Clean Architecture be adapted to meet modern demands for multiplatform support? Clean Architecture is a popular choice for Android applications, as it provides a structure that is easier to maintain and scale. However, implementing multiplatform support is not straightforward because neither modularization by feature nor modularization by layer effectively separates platform-independent logic into modules. A more flexibl...
