# 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):** ```bash npm create hono@latest my-api # Select: cloudflare-workers cd my-api npm install npm run dev # Wrangler local dev npm run deploy # Deploy to Cloudflar

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
