Hono - _**\[炎\] means flame🔥 in Japanese**_ - is a small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for the Edges.
It works on any JavaScript runtime: Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Deno, Bun, Vercel, Lagon, AWS Lambda, Lambda@Edge, and Node.js.
Fast, but not only fast.
```ts
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hono!'))
export default app
```
## Quick Start
```
npm create hono@latest my-app
```
## Features
- **Ultrafast** 🚀 - The router `RegExpRouter` is really fast. Not using linear loops. Fast.
- **Lightweight** 🪶 - The `hono/tiny` preset is under 14kB. Hono has zero dependencies and uses only the Web Standard API.
- **Multi-runtime** 🌍 - Works on Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Deno, Bun, Lagon, AWS Lambda, Lambda@Edge, or Node.js. The same code runs on all platforms.
- **Batteries Included** 🔋 - Hono has built-in middleware, custom middleware, and third-party middleware. Batteries included.
- **Delightful DX** 😃 - Super clean APIs. First-class TypeScript support. Now, we've got "Types".
