What is Javadoc?

The Javadoc tool generates API documentation in HTML format from the documentation comments embedded within source code. This automated documentation process allows developers to create and publish detailed API information for their software applications. The tool extracts and formats the documentation comments, organizing the content into a navigable set of HTML pages that can be easily accessed and referenced by users of the API
