-## What is OFREP?
 <!-- x-hide-in-docs-end -->
 
 The **OpenFeature Remote Evaluation Protocol (OFREP)** is an [API specification](./service/openapi.yaml) for feature flagging that enables vendor-agnostic communication between applications and flag management systems. It defines a standard API layer between the provider and the flag management system, allowing any open source or commercial system to implement the protocol and be compatible with community-maintained providers.
