Javadoc is a tool used to generate API documentation from inline comments in Java source code. It processes specially formatted comments that describe classes, methods, and fields and produces HTML documentation for those elements. Introduced in Java 1995 with Java 1.0, Javadoc has become an essential part of Java development, providing standardized documentation for Java libraries and frameworks, and helping developers maintain readable and accessible code.
