[RPG] What are the official, WotC-published classes and subclasses in 5e

archetypeclassdnd-5e

There aren't too many published materials that contain official classes (classes here meaning sub-classes and archetypes included) but they are scattered resources.

What are the official, 1st-party, WotC-published classes and which resources are they found in?

For the purposes of this question "unofficial", playtest material such as Unearthed Arcana is excluded and will be asked as a separate question.

D&D Beyond has a nicely formatted reference for all of the available classes/races/etc. Subclass and subrace information is also available by looking at the parent class or race's details. It should be noted that the free access materials do not include much outside of the D&D Basic Rules. They do offer other books' content, but that content must be purchased separately.

1 These subclasses are included in the DMG and can be used only with the consent of the DM because they are generally made to be used for NPCs only or only in special DM-granted circumstances. However, the DM may choose to make these subclass options more generally available.
