What is Hexagonal Architecture (Ports and Adapters) in iOS?
Updated May 6, 2026
Short answer
Hexagonal Architecture isolates core business logic from external systems using ports and adapters.
Deep explanation
Also known as Ports and Adapters, this architecture ensures the domain layer is independent of frameworks like UIKit, networking, or databases. Ports define interfaces, while adapters implement them. This makes systems highly testable and replaceable without affecting business logic.
