What is the best way to document a Java library?

The best way to document a Java library is to use Javadoc, which generates HTML documentation from comments in your code.

Can you give me an example of how to use Javadoc?

Sure! You can add comments above your classes and methods like this:

/**

• This is a sample method.
• @param param A sample parameter.
• @return A sample return value. */ public String sampleMethod(String param) { return "Hello, " + param; }

Then run the Javadoc tool to generate the documentation.

What are some best practices for writing Javadoc comments?

Some best practices include being clear and concise, using proper tags like @param and @return, and avoiding unnecessary jargon.

How can I include examples in my documentation?

You can include examples in your Javadoc comments using the {@code} tag for code snippets and the {@link} tag for references to other classes or methods.
