'''Javadoc''' (originally cased '''JavaDoc''')<ref>Now cased as 'Javadoc'. See [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-jsp-135444.html]. Originally cased as 'JavaDoc'. See [http://www.artima.com/intv/jackpot3.html]</ref> is a [[documentation generator]] created by [[Sun Microsystems]] for the [[Java (programming language)|Java language]] (now owned by [[Oracle Corporation]]) for generating [[Application programming interface|API]] documentation in [[HTML]] format from [[Java (programming language)|Java]] source code. The HTML format is used for adding the convenience of being able to [[hyperlink]] related documents together.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://agile.csc.ncsu.edu/SEMaterials/tutorials/javadoc/ |title=Javadoc |website=agile.csc.ncsu.edu |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170613233020/http://agile.csc.ncsu.edu/SEMaterials/tutorials/javadoc/ |archive-date=13 June 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
The "doc comments" format<ref>{{cite web|url = http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javadoc.html|title = javadoc - The Java API Documentation Generator|access-date = 2011-09-30|publisher = [[Sun Microsystems]]}}.</ref> used by Javadoc is the de facto industry standard for documenting Java classes. Some [[Integrated Development Environment|IDE]]s,<ref>[https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/ IntelliJ IDEA], [http://www.netbeans-blog.org/netbeans-ide/generating-javadoc-for-a-project-in-netbeans-ide.html NetBeans] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170405230224/http://www.netbeans-blog.org/netbeans-ide/generating-javadoc-for-a-project-in-netbeans-ide.html |date=2017-04-05 }} and [http://www.eclipse.org/ Eclipse]</ref> like [[IntelliJ IDEA]], [[NetBeans]] and [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]], automatically generate Javadoc
Javadoc also provides an API for creating [[doclets]] and taglets, which allows users to analyze the structure of a Java application. This is how JDiff can generate reports of what changed between two versions of an API.
