Hono: Web framework for node.js

Hono is a small web framework — a router + middleware layer for HTTP APIs, in the Express/Fastify slot but built on the modern Request/Response web standard rather than Node's req/res. It's ~14 kB, runs natively on Bun (also Deno, Cloudflare Workers, Node), and its selling point is end-to-end typed routes: app.get('/api/photos/:id', c => c.json(...)) where the param and response types flow through to a typed client.
