Hi,

Am looking for Kotlin javadoc-like API reference, if it exists at all, something like the Java API Specification: [Overview (Java Platform SE 7 )](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/overview-summary.html)

I’m aware of the [kotlin-stdlib - Kotlin Programming Language](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/index.html) page, just don’t like the presentation style and would prefer something more concise and better organized, like the java javadoc spec above.

Also, I’d like to be able to download Kotlin API reference and install it locally.

Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks, I added my support for the issues, surprised the issue isn’t more requested than it currently is.
