What is Dokka?

Dokka is a documentation engine for Kotlin, similar to Javadoc for Java. It generates API documentation in various formats (like HTML, Markdown, and more) from Kotlin source code. Dokka uses KDoc comments within your code to create comprehensive and navigable documentation, making it easier for developers to understand and use your Kotlin libraries and applications.
