JSDoc Parser

Doctrine is a specialized JavaScript parser focused solely on extracting and interpreting JSDoc comments from string inputs, rather than processing entire JavaScript files. Maintained by the ESLint team, its current stable version is 3.0.0. Releases appear irregularly, often aligned with maintenance or feature updates related to its integration within the broader ESLint ecosystem. Its primary differentiator is its granular approach to JSDoc parsing, offering fine-grained control over extraction options like unwrapping comment wrappers, filtering by specific tags, and handling parsing errors. It's designed for scenarios where only the documentation blocks need analysis, making it a foundational tool for linters, documentation generators, and code analysis tools that rely on JSDoc annotations.
