{{Main|Javadoc}}

Javadoc is a comprehensive documentation system, created by [[Sun Microsystems]]. It provides developers with an organized system for documenting their code. Javadoc comments have an extra asterisk at the beginning, i.e. the delimiters are <code>/**</code> and <code>*/</code>, whereas the normal multi-line comments in Java are delimited by <code>/*</code> and <code>*/</code>, and single-line comments start with <code>//</code>.<ref name="javadoc_comments">{{cite web |url=https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/index-137868.html |title=How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool |publisher=Oracle |work=Oracle Technology Network |access-date=December 18, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141218182906/http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/index-137868.html |archive-date=December 18, 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref>
