About Hono
Hono is a web framework written in TypeScript that runs on multiple JavaScript runtimes including Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Deno, Bun, Vercel, Netlify, AWS Lambda, and Node.js. Developers use it to build web applications with a single codebase that works across different platforms. The framework is built on Web Standards APIs and emphasizes both performance and developer experience, offering a lightweight core with the minimal preset weighing under 14KB. It includes built-in middleware, custom middleware support, and helpers for common tasks.
Hono was developed by honojs and is released under the MIT License. The framework provides first-class TypeScript support and maintains clean APIs designed for ease of use. It works as a cross-platform tool suitable for serverless environments and traditional server deployments alike.
