v2.x has been released! Migration guide
Hono - [炎] means flame🔥 in Japanese - is a small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, and others.
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hono!!'))
export default appFeatures
- Ultrafast - The routers are really smart. Not using linear loops. The fastest one will be selected from three routers.
- Zero-dependencies - Using only Web Standard API. Does not depend on other npm or Deno libraries.
- Middleware - Hono has built-in middleware, custom middleware, and third-party middleware. Batteries included.
- TypeScript - First-class TypeScript support. Now, we've got "Types".
- Multi-runtime - Works on Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute@Edge, Deno, Bun, or Node.js. The same code runs on all platforms.
