Has modern web documentation made API references worse? Linear pages instead of structured navigation—is that a step backward? Stefan Richthofer explores Javadoc, Doxygen, Sphinx & APIdia to show how API documentation can be easier to browse.

GlassFish HK2 is the reference implementation of the jakarta.inject specification within the EE4J project and powers the GlassFish Application Server and the Jersey REST Framework.
Adding HK2 API reference documentation to APIdia is our first milestone for supporting the Eclipse GlassFish ecosystem!https://apidia.net/mvn/org.glassfish.hk2/hk2

„Gut dokumentiert“ hilft wenig, wenn Entwickler die Struktur einer API nicht mehr erkennen können. Das kritisiert @Stewori an modernen Doku-Systemen!

It's really good to know that Javadoc finally catches up. Of course there will be full support for the new Rich Note tags on our site. Having a standard for this, will make handling admonitions much easier and less error-prone!

There is a JEP pending to bring admonitions to Javadoc!
https://openjdk.org/jeps/8363700
(They call it "notes" though, but it's effectively the admonition concept as known from tools like Sphinx or AsciiDoc.)
APIdia found its own solution for admonitions in Javadoc some years earlier: -
UCanAccess is a pure Java library that provides JDBC read- and write-access to various versions of Microsoft Access databases.
With UCanAccess you can access Access :)
API reference documentation of its latest release 5.1.5 is now on APIdia:

Wer große APIs dokumentiert, kennt das Problem: Tutorials funktionieren gut — Referenzdokumentation oft weniger. Orientierung geht verloren. Willst du APIs schneller verstehen? @Stewori analysiert #Javadoc, #Doxygen & Sphinx mit #APIdia.

For our German-speaking followers:
This Javapro article (in the German Javapro branch) shares some background on our story and design principles.
English version will follow soon! -
„Gut dokumentiert“ hilft wenig, wenn Entwickler die Struktur einer API nicht mehr erkennen können. Genau das kritisiert Stefan Richthofer an modernen Doku-Systemen!

Vaadin is one of the most complex projects added to APIdia so far. Did you know that the com.vaadin Maven Central group comprises almost 500 artifacts?
The main parts are covered now: flow, components and hilla. Full integration is WIP, e.g. testbench is still a todo. -
TypedMemory is a new, experimental Java library that provides type-safe, structured access to contiguous off-heap memory via Java's new Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) API.
To explore this game changer for data processing in Java, we recommend browsing its API docs on APIdia:
https://apidia.net/mvn/io.github.mambastudio/typedmemoryCredits to Joe Mwangi @joemwangi / Mamba Studio for creating this lib!
Github: https://github.com/mamba-studio/TypedMemory -
Vaadin, *the* go-to solution for Java-based web development, enables writing websites and web applications in 100% pure Java.
We're proud to announce that API documentation of Vaadin is now available on APIdia!
Check it out at https://apidia.net/mvn/com.vaadin/vaadinDocs resemble Javadoc but are more convenient to browse via frame-like side navigation for packages and classes.
They crosslink to almost all dependencies seamlessly. -

Adjacent to Java releases are JavaFX releases. Of course, API documentation of JavaFX 26 is similarly available on APIdia:
https://apidia.net/mvn/org.openjfx/javafx/26 -
Java 26 has been released and likewise, docs on APIdia have been updated:
https://apidia.net/java/OpenJDK/26Enjoy browsing the docs of the new standard library version conveniently with all the features APIdia has to offer!
And of course, big congrats to the OpenJDK team for shipping yet another marvelous Java release!

API documentation of recent releases of Apache Commons Text and Commons Pool are available on APIdia. Docs resemble Javadoc with improved navigation, cross-linking to all dependencies and many other nice features:
https://apidia.net/mvn/org.apache.commons/commons-text
https://apidia.net/mvn/org.apache.commons/commons-pool2 -
Apache Commons Exec improves external process execution in Java e.g. by better cross-platform support and handling of system variables. API documentation of the recent latest release is best browsed on APIdia with many convenient features:
https://apidia.net/mvn/org.apache.commons/commons-exec -
Did you know that #APIdia supports admonitions like known from AsciiDoc or Sphinx?
Since #Javadoc lacks admonition tags, a couple of typical HTML patterns is recognized and rendered as proper admonition boxes. See the screenshot for an example (https://apidia.net/java/OpenJDK/?pck=javax.swing&cls=.JComponent).The most common pattern is
<strong>Warning:</strong>text until next<p>
as is shown in the example. Instead of <strong>, also <em>, <b> and <i> are recognized, colon is optional, so
<i>Note</i>text<p>
is also fine. -

To get started with #JUnit 6 you can explore its API now on #APIdia. Docs largely resemble #JavaDoc but are easier to browse and include the full dependency tree, consistently linked into the docs. Many other nice features to be found. Follow me or @APIdia to learn more.
#java #jvm @junitLatest: https://apidia.net/mvn/org.junit/junit
JUnit 5: https://apidia.net/mvn/org.junit/junit/5
JUnit 4: https://apidia.net/mvn/junit/junit -
API documentation of #JUnit 6 is now available on #APIdia. All artifacts of the latest release are conveniently browsable in one coherent doc profile. All dependencies are available as well and consistently linked to all occurrences in the API docs. Enjoy browsing!
https://apidia.net/mvn/org.junit/junit/6 -
API documentation of #Gradle 9.2.0, the most recent release of the well-known build tool, is now available on APIdia. The gradle-api-tooling artifact offers programmatic access to Gradle and APIdia is the best place for browsing its rich API conveniently:
https://apidia.net/mvn/org.gradle/gradle-tooling-api -
Jackson 3 API documentation is now available on APIdia:
https://apidia.net/mvn/tools.jackson/jackson/3
It's always amazing to see a major version bump getting shipped, especially from a backbone project of the Java ecosystem such as the Jackson data processor!

API documentation of the new JavaFX 25 release is now available on APIdia!
https://apidia.net/mvn/org.openjfx/javafxThis includes the incubating modules, however they are hidden by default.
See comments for instructions. -
Java 25 has been released, congrats for this milestone!
Of course, API documentation is readily available on APIdia:
