Doxygen is the standard documentation generator for C++, C, Java, Python, and other languages. It extracts documentation from specially-formatted comments in source code and generates output in HTML, LaTeX, RTF, and other formats.
The tool parses source code, builds a cross-referenced documentation structure, and renders it with class diagrams, call graphs, and inheritance trees. Special comment markers (///, /**, etc.) identify documentation blocks.
Doxygen supports Markdown in comments and can generate documentation from plain header files without inline comments.

Complex projects need extensive configuration. Large codebases may take time to process. Graphviz required for diagrams. Output quality depends on comment quality.

Doxygen was created by Dimitri van Heesch and first released in 1997. It became the de facto standard for C/C++ documentation, supporting additional languages and output formats over time.
