## Viper or Vipers?
Viper comes ready to use out of the box. There is no configuration or
initialization needed to begin using Viper. Since most applications will want
to use a single central repository for their configuration, the viper package
provides this. It is similar to a singleton.
Viper comes with a global instance (singleton) out of the box.
In all of the examples above, they demonstrate using viper in its singleton
style approach.
Although it makes setting up configuration easy,
using it is generally discouraged as it makes testing harder and can lead to unexpected behavior.
The best practice is to initialize a Viper instance and pass that around when necessary.
The global instance _MAY_ be deprecated in the future.
See [#1855](https://github.com/spf13/viper/issues/1855) for more details.
