Hono - _**[炎] means flame🔥 in Japanese**_ - is a small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, and others.
```ts
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hono!!'))
export default app
```
## Features
- **Ultrafast** - The routers are really smart. Not using linear loops. The fastest one will be selected from three routers.
- **Zero-dependencies** - Using only Web Standard API. Does not depend on other npm or Deno libraries.
- **Middleware** - Hono has built-in middleware, custom middleware, and third-party middleware. Batteries included.
- **TypeScript** - First-class TypeScript support. Now, we've got "Types".
- **Multi-runtime** - Works on Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute@Edge, Deno, Bun, or Node.js. The same code runs on all platforms.
## Benchmarks
**Hono is **the **fastest**, compared to other routers for Cloudflare Workers.
