Hono: The Ultrafast Web Framework for Edge and Serverless

Hono is the fastest web framework for the edge, designed to run anywhere - Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, and more.

Getting Started

import { Hono } from "hono";

const app = new Hono();

app.get("/", (c) => c.text("Hello Hono!"));

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

export default app;

Middleware

import { cors } from "hono/cors";
import { logger } from "hono/logger";
import { jwt } from "hono/jwt";

app.use("*", logger());
app.use("/api/*", cors());
app.use("/api/*", jwt({ secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET }));
