## What it is
ScriptHookVDotNet (SHVDN) is an ASI plugin for Grand Theft Auto V that hosts a .NET Framework runtime in-game, letting users run scripts written in any .NET language. It provides object-oriented scripting APIs on top of Alexander Blade's C++ Script Hook V for Story Mode modding.

## Use cases
- write GTA V mods in C# instead of C++
- run .NET scripts in-game for GTA V story mode
- create custom gameplay mods for Grand Theft Auto V
- reload and iterate on game scripts quickly
- use .NET Framework libraries inside GTA V scripts

## When to choose
- you want to script GTA V mods using C#, VB.NET, or other .NET languages
- you prefer guided object-oriented APIs over raw native functions
- you need fast script reload and test cycles while modding

## When to avoid
- you are modding GTA Online or want multiplayer cheats
- you target platforms other than the PC version of GTA V
- you need a runtime that can be reloaded after Script Hook V unloads ASI scripts
