1. Separation of concerns: Modular architecture emphasizes the importance of separating different components of a system into modular units that can be independently developed, tested, and deployed.
2. High cohesion: Modules with high cohesion have strong internal connections and perform a single, well-defined function. This helps to ensure that the module is reliable, easy to maintain, and can be reused in other systems.
3. Low coupling: Modules with low coupling have minimal dependencies on other modules, making them easier to modify, extend or replace without affecting other modules.
4. Encapsulation: Modular architecture emphasizes the use of encapsulation to hide the internal workings of a module from external users, allowing the module to be treated like a black box.
5. Abstraction: The use of abstraction helps to simplify complex systems by defining high-level interfaces that allow developers to interact with the system without needing to understand its inner workings.
6. Reusability: Modular architecture emphasizes the use of reusable components, which can be used in multiple systems, reducing development time and costs.
7. Scalability: By breaking a system into smaller modular units, modular architecture allows the system to be scaled more easily, as modules can be added or removed as required.
8. Flexibility: Modular architecture provides a flexible system design that can be easily modified and adapted to changing requirements or new technology.
