About

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.

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.
