Hono
Web framework built on Web Standards

Hono is a small, fast web application framework (Express-like, without a frontend) built on Web Standard APIs. It’s designed to run across many JavaScript runtimes (Edge/serverless and traditional), letting the same app code work on different platforms via runtime-specific entry points/adapters.
