    Javadoc is a computer software tool from Sun Microsystems for generating API documentation into HTML format from Java source code.
    Javadoc is the industry standard for documenting Java classes. Most IDEs will automatically generate Javadoc HTML.

    Javadoc also provides an API for creating doclets and taglets, which allows you to analyze the structure of a Java application. This is how JDiff can generate reports of what changed between two versions of an API.

    Javadoc tags

    Developers use certain commenting styles and Javadoc tags when documenting source code. A Java block comment starting with /
        will begin a Javadoc comment block which will be included in the generated HTML. A Javadoc tag begins with an "@" (at sign). Some tags are provided in the following table.
