Lightweight, TypeScript-first framework for building fast APIs

Why Hono.js?
A modern, performant framework designed for the edge

Hono.js is a lightweight, TypeScript-first framework for building fast APIs, suitable for RESTful endpoints used in e-commerce (products, orders) and social media (posts, feeds).
