Hono
Also known as: Hono.js / 炎
A Japanese-originated ultra-lightweight, ultra-fast multi-runtime web framework. It runs on Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, and Vercel Edge, offering type-safe RPC APIs and Zod validation for full-stack development.
Overview
Hono is a thin framework that is fully compliant with Web standard APIs (Request/Response/fetch), with Express-like syntax but far greater performance. Its RPC mode lets clients call server functions with full type safety and supports automatic OpenAPI schema generation. See Hono Complete Guide.
Combination with Inertia.js
Combining Hono + Inertia.js + React creates a third full-stack option beyond Next.js and Remix. See Hono + Inertia + React Full-Stack 2026 for the full walkthrough.
