OpenFeature is an open specification that provides a vendor-agnostic, community-driven API for feature flagging.
OpenFeature is an open specification that provides a vendor-agnostic API and SDK for feature flagging. It enables developers to integrate feature flags in a standardized way across different feature flag management platforms.

OpenFeature providers are the abstraction between an OpenFeature SDK and an underlying flag management system like ConfigCat. To learn more, see the [OpenFeature documentation](https://openfeature.dev/docs/reference/intro).
OpenFeature providers act as the bridge between an OpenFeature SDK and a feature flag service like ConfigCat. When your application evaluates a feature flag through the OpenFeature API, the configured provider retrieves and evaluates the flag value from the underlying feature flag system.

ConfigCat offers providers for the following platforms supported by OpenFeature SDKs:
Using OpenFeature providers allows teams to adopt a standardized feature flag interface while managing flags with ConfigCat. To learn more, see the [OpenFeature documentation](https://openfeature.dev/docs/reference/intro/).

## ConfigCat OpenFeature Providers

ConfigCat offers OpenFeature providers for several platforms supported by OpenFeature SDKs, allowing applications to evaluate feature flags through the OpenFeature API while managing configuration in ConfigCat.

Supported platforms include:

## OpenFeature Remote Evaluation Protocol (OFREP)

The <a href="https://github.com/open-feature/protocol" target="_blank">OpenFeature Remote Flag Evaluation Protocol</a> is an
API specification for feature flagging that allows the use of generic providers to connect
to any feature flag management systems that supports the protocol.
The <a href="https://github.com/open-feature/protocol" target="_blank">OpenFeature Remote Flag Evaluation Protocol (OFREP)</a> defines a standard API for remote feature flag evaluation. It allows generic providers to connect to any feature flag system that supports the protocol.

ConfigCat conforms to OFREP via the [ConfigCat Proxy](../../advanced/proxy/overview.mdx).
ConfigCat supports OFREP through the [ConfigCat Proxy](../../advanced/proxy/overview.mdx), enabling OpenFeature-compatible clients to evaluate flags remotely.
The API documentation for the OFREP implementation with usage examples is available [here](../../advanced/proxy/endpoints.mdx#openfeature-remote-evaluation-protocol-ofrep).
