It acts as a universal translator between different FiveM frameworks, ensuring seamless compatibility and elite performance. Best of all? This resource is provided completely FREE with any Crystal Studios product that requires it! #### 🚀 Key Features * **🌐 Framework Agnostic & Auto-Detection:** Crystal Bridge automatically detects the active framework (`ESX`, `QBCore`, or `QBox`) upon server startup, completely eliminating the need for manual configuration. * **📦 Smart Inventory Handling**: Built-in support for `ox_inventory` and `qb-inventory` with ready-to-use functions for adding, removing, and managing items within specific inventory slots. * **🧑‍💻 Unified Player Data**: Retrieve core player details, such as unique identifiers (`citizenid` / `identifier`), using unified functions across all supported frameworks. *One bridge to connect them all. Less resource overhead, maximum efficiency.* > ⚠️ Important > > At the time Crystal Bridge is still in development, so some features may be incomplete or subject to change. Please ensure you regularly update this resource to maintain full compatibility with our scripts and to receive the latest stability patches. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://crystal-studios.gitbook.io/crystal-studios-docs/crystal-bridge/about.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
