hono


Hono - _means flame🔥 in Japanese_ - is a small, simple, and ultrafast web framework built on Web Standards. It works on any JavaScript runtime: Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Deno, Bun, Vercel, AWS Lambda, Lambda@Edge, and Node.js.

Fast, but not only fast.

app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hono!'))

export default app
`
