Abstract
Documentation for application or web service, such as a web application programming interface (API), is generated by analyzing bytecode for the application itself. Metadata contained within the bytecode and that specifies the functionality of the web service is extracted and used as a template and basis for documentation. A second source of documentation, which contains detailed documentation of the web service, is contributed by the web service developer and merged with the metadata extracted from the bytecode.
