I don’t fully agree. Javadoc style documentation should be programmatic and driven by types and inline doc strings. It should just always exist and I would argue having it online is ok but why would not just go to the code itself.

Examples like QuickStart guides should absolutely be required. They serve as the quick entry point and general use of the library. If I only had the code docs I would have no idea how I am supposed to use the api and was my main complaint of many Java libraries historically as they only had a Javadoc.
