Hono
Fast, lightweight web framework built on Web Standards for any JavaScript runtime.
Hono is an ultrafast, lightweight web application framework built on Web Standards that runs on Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Deno, Bun, Vercel, AWS Lambda, and Node.js. It offers built-in middleware, helpers, and first-class TypeScript support, making it suitable for building web APIs, edge applications, and full-stack projects. Its RegExpRouter is benchmarked as the fastest router for Cloudflare Workers, and the core preset weighs under 14kB with zero dependencies.
Hono uses a RegExpRouter that compiles routes into a single regex before dispatch, adheres strictly to Web Standard APIs, and provides middleware and helpers that are only bundled when used.
