About

Doxygen is an open-source documentation generator that creates reference documentation from annotated source code and supports languages including C++, C#, PHP, Java, Python, IDL, Fortran, and D.

It extracts documentation from specially formatted comments, generates output in HTML, PDF, LaTeX, RTF, and man page formats, creates dependency and collaboration diagrams through Graphviz integration, and can generate documentation from undocumented source code by analyzing program structure.

Javadoc is a tool for generating API documentation in HTML format from doc comments in Java source code.

It is included in the Java SDK and supports standard tags for parameters, return values, exceptions, and deprecation, custom doclets and taglets, built-in search, DocLint validation, and Markdown comments in Java 23 and later.
