Pull request overview
Updates the Java OpenFeature provider documentation to clarify how getLongValue() behaves when DevCycle numeric values are represented as doubles, including precision limits and error behavior.
Changes:
- Adds an example for retrieving long flag values via
getLongValue(). - Documents the IEEE-754 /
2^53 - 1safe-integer limitation for long conversions. - Clarifies
TYPE_MISMATCHbehavior for fractional and out-of-range values and recommendsgetDoubleValue()when needed.
