Choose one only after listing the gameplay resources and integrations the project requires. Cfx.re lists ESX, QBCore and Qbox as community framework options; each project maintains its own installation instructions and APIs. A framework label does not prove that every third-party resource or fork is compatible.<\/p>\n<p>De <a href=\"\/nl\/fivem-framework-coverage-report\/\">FiveM Framework Coverage Report<\/a> describes how the FiveMX catalog is classified.
