mvvmFX is an application framework which provides you necessary components to implement the MVVM pattern with JavaFX.
MVVM is the enhanced version of the Presentation Model pattern and was created by Microsoft engineers for WPF. JavaFX and WPF does have similarities like data binding and descriptive UI declaration (FXML/XAML). Because of this fact we adopted best practices of the development with the Microsoft technology and introduced new helpers to support the development of applications with JavaFX and MVVM.
