Hono
Hono[炎] - means flame🔥 in Japanese - is small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for a Service Workers API based serverless such as Cloudflare Workers and Fastly Compute@Edge.
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hono!!'))
app.fire()
Features
- Ultra fast - the router is implemented with Trie-Tree structure.
- Zero dependencies - using only Web standard API.
- Middleware - builtin middleware, and you can make your own middleware.
- Optimized - for Cloudflare Workers.
Benchmark
Hono is fastest compared to other routers for Cloudflare Workers.
hono x 708,671 ops/sec ±2.58% (58 runs sampled)

Fastest is hono
✨ Done in 57.83s.
Hono in 1 minute
Below is a demonstration to create an application of Cloudflare Workers with Hono.
Install
You can install from npm registry:
yarn add hono
or
npm install hono
Methods
Instance of Hono
has these methods:
- app.HTTP_METHOD(path, handler)
- app.all(path, handler)
- app.route(path)
- app.use(path, middleware)
- app.fire()
- app.fetch(request, env, event)
Routing
Basic
app.HTTP_METHOD
// HTTP Methods
app.get('/', (c) => c.text('GET /'))
app.post('/', (c) => c.text('POST /'))
// Wildcard
app.get('/wild/*/card', (c) => {
return c.text('GET /wild/*/card')
})
app.all
// Any HTTP methods
app.all('/hello', (c) => c.text('Any Method /hello'))
Named Parameter
app.get('/user/:name', (c) => {
const name = c.req.param('name')
...
})
Regexp
app.get('/post/:date{[0-9]+}/:title{[a-z]+}', (c) => {
const date = c.req.param('date')
const title = c.req.param('title')
...
Chained Route
app
.route('/api/book')
.get(() => {...})
.post(() => {...})
.put(() => {...})
Custom 404 Response
You can customize 404 Not Found response:
app.get('*', (c) => {
return c.text('Custom 404 Error', 404)
})
async/await
app.get('/fetch-url', async (c) => {
const response = await fetch('https://example.com/')
return c.text(`Status is ${response.status}`)
})
Middleware
Builtin Middleware
import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { poweredBy } from 'hono/powered-by'
import { logger } from 'hono/logger'
import { basicAuth } from 'hono/basicAuth'
const app = new Hono()
app.use('*', poweredBy())
app.use('*', logger())
app.use(
'/auth/*',
basicAuth({
username: 'hono',
password: 'acoolproject',
})
)
...
Available builtin middleware are listed on src/middleware.
Custom Middleware
You can write your own middleware:
// Custom logger
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
console.log(`[${c.req.method}] ${c.req.url}`)
await next()
})
// Add a custom header
app.use('/message/*', async (c, next) => {
await next()
await c.res.headers.add('x-message', 'This is middleware!')
})
app.get('/message/hello', (c) => c.text('Hello Middleware!'))
Handling Error
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
try {
await next()
} catch (err) {
console.error(`${err}`)
c.res = c.text('Custom Error Message', { status: 500 })
}
})
Complex Pattern
You can also do this:
// Output response time
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
await next()
const responseTime = await c.res.headers.get('X-Response-Time')
console.log(`X-Response-Time: ${responseTime}`)
})
// Add X-Response-Time header
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
const start = Date.now()
await next()
const ms = Date.now() - start
await c.res.headers.append('X-Response-Time', `${ms}ms`)
})
Context
To handle Request and Reponse easily, you can use Context object:
c.req
// Get Request object
app.get('/hello', (c) => {
const userAgent = c.req.headers.get('User-Agent')
...
})
// Shortcut to get a header value
app.get('/shortcut', (c) => {
const userAgent = c.req.header('User-Agent')
...
})
// Query params
app.get('/search', (c) => {
const query = c.req.query('q')
...
})
// Captured params
app.get('/entry/:id', (c) => {
const id = c.req.param('id')
...
})
Shortcuts for Response
app.get('/welcome', (c) => {
c.header('X-Message', 'Hello!')
c.header('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
c.status(201)
return c.body('Thank you for comming')
/*
Same as:
return new Response('Thank you for comming', {
status: 201,
statusText: 'Created',
headers: {
'X-Message': 'Hello',
'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
'Content-Length: '22'
}
})
*/
})
c.text()
Render text as Content-Type:text/plain
:
app.get('/say', (c) => {
return c.text('Hello!')
})
c.json()
Render JSON as Content-Type:application/json
:
app.get('/api', (c) => {
return c.json({ message: 'Hello!' })
})
c.html()
Render HTML as Content-Type:text/html
:
app.get('/', (c) => {
return c.html('<h1>Hello! Hono!</h1>')
})
c.redirect()
Redirect, default status code is 302
:
app.get('/redirect', (c) => c.redirect('/'))
app.get('/redirect-permanently', (c) => c.redirect('/', 301))
c.res
// Response object
app.use('/', (c, next) => {
next()
c.res.headers.append('X-Debug', 'Debug message')
})
c.event
// FetchEvent object
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
c.event.waitUntil(
...
)
await next()
})
c.env
// Environment object for Cloudflare Workers
app.get('*', async c => {
const counter = c.env.COUNTER
...
})
fire
app.fire()
do:
addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {
event.respondWith(this.handleEvent(event))
})
fetch
app.fetch()
is for Cloudflare Module Worker syntax.
export default {
fetch(request: Request, env: Env, event: FetchEvent) {
return app.fetch(request, env, event)
},
}
/*
or just do this:
export default app
*/
Cloudflare Workers with Hono
Using wrangler
or miniflare
, you can develop the application locally and publish it with few commands.
Let's write your first code for Cloudflare Workers with Hono.

cd hono-example
npm init -y
3. wrangler init
Init as a wrangler project.
wrangler init
4. npm install hono
Install hono
from npm registry.
npm i hono
5. Write your app
Only 4 lines!!
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hello! Hono!'))
app.fire()
6. Run
Run the development server locally. Then, access like http://127.0.0.1:8787/
in your Web browser.
wrangler dev
Publish
Deploy to Cloudflare. That's all!
