Does Objective C have a documentation framework similar to JavaDoc where documentation can be generated from the source code?

There are several tools that works like JavaDoc for C++ The most popular tool is probably doxygen. It can handle JavaDoc-like comments, and also several languages (e.g., C++, C, Java, Objective-C, Python, PHP, C#).
Does C++ have anything similar to javadoc? Yes. Here are a few (listed alphabetically by tool name): ccdoc supports javadoc-like syntax with various extensions.
Javadoc is pretty much the accepted standard for documenting java code.
The Objective-C runtime is a runtime library that provides support for the dynamic properties of the Objective-C language, and as such is linked to by all Objective-C apps. Objective-C runtime library support functions are implemented in the shared library found at /usr/lib/libobjc.
Doxygen! You can use it for many languages, including Objective-c

Good news for all! :D Finally after waiting a long time Apple has introduced a parser comments for our projects. According to the new features in XCode 5:
Project documentation from framework API reference documentation and structured comments in your own source code are displayed in the quick help panel and in code completion popover views. Doxygen and HeaderDoc structured comments are supported formats.
and from the Clang 3.2 release notes:
Clang parses the comments and can detect syntactic and semantic errors in comments. These warnings are off by default. Pass -Wdocumentation flag to enable warnings about documentation comments.
If you want to see an example of this new feature I recommend you take a look at the following article: Documentation in Xcode 5

Doxygen is quite popular among Obj-C developers.
