Hono provides an ultrafast, standards-based web framework that runs across Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, and other runtimes with a single codebase, simplifying cross-runtime API development.
Create a new Hono app with npm create hono@latest my-app and start building routes to learn the basics.

Hono provides ultrafast web routing for multi-runtime apps, running on Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, and Node.js. It uses standard Request and Response objects to ensure consistent API behavior across different JavaScript runtimes.
Yes, you can use TypeScript for type-safe routing in edge computing with Hono. It is a TypeScript-first framework that provides type inference for routing, context, and response patterns across Cloudflare Workers and other runtimes.
The best way to start building routes with Hono is by running npm create hono@latest my-app. This scaffolds a new project where you can immediately define routes using standard Request and Response patterns.
Yes, Hono requires explicit runtime adapters to operate in serverless environments. These adapters connect the lightweight core framework to specific platforms like Cloudflare Workers, Deno, or Bun while maintaining consistent code.
A limitation of using a lightweight web framework like Hono for edge computing is its ~14KB minified footprint, which prioritizes ultrafast routing over heavy built-in features. It relies on a rich middleware ecosystem rather than bundled monolithic functionality.
Hono achieves ultrafast routing across JavaScript runtimes by using a RegExpRouter. This mechanism is built on Web Standards, allowing high-performance request matching within a lightweight, multi-runtime architecture.
