What this skill does
Hono Web Framework Overview Hono (炎, "flame" in Japanese) is a small, ultrafast web framework built on Web Standards (Request/Response/fetch). It runs anywhere: Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Bun, Node.js, AWS Lambda, and any WinterCG-compatible runtime — with the same code. Hono's router is one of the fastest available, and its middleware system, built-in JSX support, and RPC client make it a strong choice for edge APIs, BFFs, and lightweight full-stack apps. When to Use This Skill Use when building a REST or RPC API for edge deployment (Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy) Use when you need a minimal but type-safe server framework for Bun or Node.js Use when building a Backend for Frontend (BFF) layer with low latency requirements Use when migrating from Express but wanting better TypeScript support and edge compatibility Use when the user asks about Hono routing, middleware, c.req, c.json, or hc() RPC client How It Works Step 1: Project Setup Cloudflare Workers (recommended for edge): Bun / Node.js: Step 2: Routing Chained routing: Step 3: Middleware Hono middleware works exactly like fetch interceptors — before and after handlers: Available built-in middleware: logger, cors, csrf, etag, cache, basicAuth, bearerAuth, jwt, compress, bodyLimit, timeout, prettyJSON, secureHeaders. …
