Hono: The Ultrafast Web Framework for the Edge

Hono is a tiny (a few KB) web framework that runs anywhere JavaScript runs — especially the edge. If you know Express, you'll be productive in minutes, but with full type safety and edge-native performance.

A Familiar, Type-Safe API

import { Hono } from "hono";

const app = new Hono();

app.get("/users/:id", (c) => {
  const id = c.req.param("id"); // typed
  return c.json({ id, name: "Ada" });
});

export default app;

Runs Everywhere

• Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, Vercel, and AWS Lambda — same code.
• Built-in middleware for JWT, CORS, logging, and caching.
• RPC mode shares types between your API and client for end-to-end safety.
