**JDiff** is a [Javadoc](/source/Javadoc) [doclet](/source/Doclet) which generates an [HTML](/source/HTML) report of all the packages, classes, constructors, methods, and fields which have been removed, added or changed in any way, including their documentation, when two [Java](/source/Java_(programming_language)) [APIs](/source/API) are compared. Which can be used to described exactly what has changed between the two releases of a product. Only the API of each version is compared. It does not compare what the source code does when executed.
