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 Cloudflare Workers (recommended for edge): Bun / Node.js: Chained routing: Hono middleware works exactly like fetch interceptors — before and after handlers: Available built-in middleware: logger, cors, csrf, etag, cache, basicAuth, bearerAuth, jwt, compress, bodyLimit, timeout, prettyJSON, secureHeaders.
