Whats the differences JavaDoc and Swagger?

Answer 1

Swagger is for Rest API Documentation for e.g What is the API Signature Inputs and Outputs.

Please read https://swagger.io/resources/articles/documenting-apis-with-swagger/ for further information on Swagger

JavaDoc is for documenting your Code (Java Classes and methods).
