The story of web framework Hono, from the creator of Hono
Hono is a fast and lightweight web framework that runs anywhere JavaScript does, built with Web Standards. It was initially developed to create applications for Cloudflare Workers but has since gained popularity among developers due to its ability to run on multiple platforms such as Deno, Bun, and Node.js. The framework uses a Trie tree-based router and supports middleware and helpers that can be added when needed. Hono's strong type system allows for RPC (Remote Procedure Call) features, while server-side JSX provides an improved developer experience. With the release of version 4, Hono now supports static site generation, client components, and file-based routing, allowing users to create full-stack applications with a user interface.
