Build multi-runtime web apps with Hono.

Multi-Runtime

• Runs on Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, Lambda
• Runtime adapters auto-detected on import
• Same API across all platforms

Routing & Middleware

• Express-style routing with app.get() / app.post()
• Wildcard and regex route patterns
• Built-in middleware: cors, etag, logger, jwt, bearer
• Custom middleware via app.use()

RPC Mode

• hc() client for type-safe API calls
• Shared types between server and client
• Full end-to-end type safety without codegen

Validation

• Zod integration via @hono/zod-validator
• JSON Schema validation with @hono/validator
• Input parsing for body, query, params, headers

Best Practices

• Use HonoRequest instead of raw Request
• Error handling with app.onError()
• Serve static files via @hono/serve-static
• Deployment helpers for each runtime target
• JWT auth via @hono/jwt middleware
