title: What is the Javadoc?
body: <p>In past paper questions, it states to define a bunch of terms in the context of Java. The term 'Javadoc' is included in the list. I went through every lecture and the term never came up and most info online is quite technical.</p>
  
  <p>What, in the most easily digestable terms, is the Javadoc?</p>
  
  <p>My current (and likely incorrect) understanding of the Javadoc:</p>
  
  <p>the predefined classes etc used in the Java Development Environment, in HTML format (ie published online - the online part especially sounds incorrect to me)</p>
  
  <p>I used the following sources to try find the definition, but it still isn't entirely clear to me.
