    Compared to the first three tools, apiDoc takes a different approach towards generating documentation. Rather than rely on an API definition file like OAS, apiDoc is a package that allows you to add documentation directly into your source code through annotations. While there are third-party libraries that can create OAS files based on code annotations, having this built-in makes apiDoc slightly better if you want to control documentation through code instead of having a separate tool.
