### Fetching Feature Toggles

`GET: http://unleash.host.com/api/admin/features`

This endpoint is the one all admin ui should use to fetch all available feature toggles from the _unleash-server_. The response returns all active feature toggles and their current strategy configuration. A feature toggle will have _at least_ one configured strategy. A strategy will have a `name` and `parameters` map.

**Example response:**

```json
{
  "version": 2,
  "features": [
    {
      "name": "Feature.A",
      "description": "lorem ipsum",
      "type": "release",
      "enabled": false,
      "strategies": [
        {
          "name": "default",
          "parameters": {}
        }
      ],
      "variants": [
        {
          "name": "variant1",
          "weight": 50
        },
        {
          "name": "variant2",
          "weight": 50
        }
      ]
