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.

JSDoc is an API documentation generator for JavaScript that generates HTML documentation from source code, similar to Javadoc or phpDocumentor.

It parses JSDoc annotations written by developers in source code comments, supports custom templates, runs as a Node.js command-line tool, and is supported by IDEs such as VS Code and Visual Studio.
