Hono is a lightweight web framework that runs on Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, and Node.js. Express-like API with middleware, but designed for edge and serverless environments.
Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
