+# OpenFeature Multi-Provider for Java
+
+The OpenFeature Multi-Provider wraps multiple underlying providers in a unified interface, allowing the SDK client to transparently interact with all those providers at once.
+This allows use cases where a single client and evaluation interface is desired, but where the flag data should come from more than one source.
+
+Some examples:
+
+- A migration from one feature flagging provider to another.
+  During that process, you may have some flags that have been ported to the new system and others that haven’t.
+  Therefore, you’d want the Multi-Provider to return the result of the “new” system if available otherwise, return the "old" system’s result.
+- Long-term use of multiple sources for flags.
+  For example, someone might want to be able to combine environment variables, database entries, and vendor feature flag results together in a single interface, and define the precedence order in which those sources should be consulted.
+- Setting a fallback for cloud providers.
+  You can use the Multi-Provider to automatically fall back to a local configuration if an external vendor provider goes down, rather than using the default values.
+  By using the FirstSuccessfulStrategy, the Multi-Provider will move on to the next provider in the list if an error is thrown.
+
+## Strategies
+
+The Multi-Provider supports multiple ways of deciding how to evaluate the set of providers it is managing, and how to deal with any errors that are thrown.
+
+Strategies must be adaptable to the various requirements that might be faced in a multi-provider situation.
+In some cases, the strategy may want to ignore errors from individual providers as long as one of them successfully responds.
+In other cases, it may want to evaluate providers in order and skip the rest if a successful result is obtained.
+In still other scenarios, it may be required to always call every provider and decide what to do with the set of results.
+
+The strategy to use is passed in to the Multi-Provider.
+
+By default, the Multi-Provider uses the “FirstMatchStrategy”.
+
+Here are some standard strategies that come with the Multi-Provider:
+
+### First Match
+
+Return the first result returned by a provider.
+Skip providers that indicate they had no value due to `FLAG_NOT_FOUND`.
+In all other cases, use the value returned by the provider.
+If any provider returns an error result other than `FLAG_NOT_FOUND`, the whole evaluation should error and “bubble up” the individual provider’s error in the result.
+
+As soon as a value is returned by a provider, the rest of the operation should short-circuit and not call the rest of the providers.
+
+### First Successful
+
+Similar to “First Match”, except that errors from evaluated providers do not halt execution.
+Instead, it will return the first successful result from a provider. If no provider successfully responds, it will throw an error result.
+
+### User Defined
+
+Rather than making assumptions about when to use a provider’s result and when not to (which may not hold across all providers) there is also a way for the user to define their own strategy that determines whether to use a result or fall through to the next one.
+
+## Installation
+
+<!-- x-release-please-start-version -->
+
+```xml
+
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>dev.openfeature.contrib.providers</groupId>
+    <artifactId>multi-provider</artifactId>
+    <version>0.0.1</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+<!-- x-release-please-end-version -->
+
+## Usage
+
+Usage example:
+
+```
+...
+List<FeatureProvider> providers = new ArrayList<>(2);
+providers.add(provider1);
+providers.add(provider2);
+
+// initialize using default strategy (first match)
+MultiProvider multiProvider = new MultiProvider(providers);
+OpenFeatureAPI.getInstance().setProviderAndWait(multiProvider);
+
+// initialize using a different strategy
+multiProvider = new MultiProvider(providers, new FirstSuccessfulStrategy());
+...
+```
