Hono is a lightweight web framework that uses standard web APIs, making it compatible across multiple runtime environments like Node.js, Deno, Bun, Cloudflare Workers, and AWS Lambda. Developers use Hono to build APIs and web applications with TypeScript support and built-in routing, while benefiting from a single codebase that works across different deployment platforms. It's useful if you want a minimal, standards-based alternative to heavier frameworks that ties your code to specific runtimes.
