Answer from AI
In Java projects, the most commonly used document types for auto-documentation are:
- Javadoc — a standard comment format that allows automatic generation of HTML documentation from source code. Comments are formatted with /** ... */ and contain descriptions of classes, methods, parameters, and return values.
- Markdown — often used for writing README files and other documentation in repositories, easy to read and supported by many platforms.
- Asciidoc — a more powerful format for technical documentation, supporting complex formatting and generation of various formats (HTML, PDF).
Example of a Javadoc comment:
/**
* Class for calculating arithmetic operations.
*/
public class Calculator {
/**
* Adds two numbers.
* @param a first number
* @param b second number
* @return sum of a and b
*/
public int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
}
