If you format source code comments in a specific way, then an external application can scan the source code and locate those comments. It can automatically extract and present them as external documentation. That saves you time from writing the external documents yourself.

no, you need the source code to create the documentation and not all comments are processed into the documentation, only / ** * text * / java bytecode itself is not very secure, although there are tools that can improve it
