### Get started in 5 minutes
**CodexCore** is a core developer library and **RedM bridge API** used in CodexStudios scripts.
It unifies common server APIs across **VORP**, **RSG**, and **TPZ-CORE**.
Write Lua once, then run the same script across frameworks.
CodexCore is not a plug-and-play framework and does not automatically convert scripts. Instead, it gives you a consistent API for common systems such as:
* player data and identifiers
* inventory and money operations
* jobs, characters, and shared systems
* framework differences abstracted away
With CodexCore, your scripts simply call one API while CodexCore handles the underlying framework logic for you.
