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.
Sphinx is an open-source documentation generator originally created for the Python ecosystem that converts reStructuredText and Markdown sources into structured technical documentation.
It supports cross-references, automatic API documentation for Python, 
C++, 
JS, and other software domains, theming, and deployments to 
Read the Docs, 
GitHub Pages, 
GitLab Pages, and 
Netlify.
