JavaHelp refers to both an application and a format for online help files that can be displayed by the JavaHelp browser. It is written in Java, and is mainly used in Java applications. It can be used for any application but it does require the overhead of the JRE to load.

File format

The file format is based on the World Wide Web Consortium Extensible Markup Language XML.

Appearance and Features

The GUI uses a tri-pane layout, with a toolbar and menu at the top, navigation pane on the left, and content viewer on the right. The navigation pane includes searching, indexing, and a table of contents.
