Javadoc is a documentation generator from Sun Microsystems for generating API documentation in 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.

Example

An example of using Javadoc to document a method follows. Notice that spacing and quantity of characters in this example are as conventions state.

/**
 * Validates a chess move. Use {@link #doMove(int, int, int, int)} to move a piece.
 * 
 * @param theFromFile file from which a piece is being moved
 * @param theFromRank rank from which a piece is being moved
 * @param theToFile   file to which a piece is being moved
 * @param theToRank   rank to which a piece is being moved
 * @return            true if the chess move is valid, otherwise false
 */
boolean isValidMove(int theFromFile, int theFromRank, int theToFile, int theToRank)
{
    ... 
}
 
/**
 * Move a chess piece.
 *
 * @see java.math.RoundingMode
 */
boolean doMove(int theFromFile, int theFromRank, int theToFile, int theToRank)
{
    ... 
}
