entity-doc-generator

To generate documentation from Java @Entity classes, you can automatically scan your Java project to parse JPA/Hibernate annotations and JavaDoc, outputting Markdown files per entity with fields, relationships, and constraints. This eliminates manual documentation maintenance.

Documenting JPA Hibernate entity relationships and constraints is best handled by parsing source code to extract @Entity, @Table, @Column, and @Id annotations. This process automatically produces detailed Markdown specifications covering validation, versioning, and persistence mapping.

Yes, you can scan a specific subset of Java entities instead of the whole project. The tool supports full project scanning as well as localized generation for selected entities, making it adaptable for ORM-driven Java projects of varying scales.

Yes, the generated Markdown includes validation and persistence mapping details. The output Markdown files contain dedicated sections for fields, relationships, validation, versioning, and persistence mappings extracted directly from the Java annotations and JavaDoc.

You do not need any external dependencies to extract entity specifications from Java source code. The tool operates independently by parsing the existing source code to extract annotations and JavaDoc without requiring additional libraries or components.
