Hono Edge API

A guide to building fast, lightweight APIs with Hono that deploy to edge runtimes like Cloudflare Workers, Deno, and Bun.

Usage

Ask about Hono routing, middleware, edge deployment, or multi-runtime API development.

Examples

• "Create a REST API with Hono on Cloudflare Workers"
• "How do I add JWT authentication to a Hono API?"
• "Set up OpenAPI documentation with Hono"

Guidelines

• Use Hono's built-in validator middleware for request validation
• Leverage the Zod OpenAPI integration for type-safe APIs
• Use environment variables through the context for runtime portability
• Keep edge functions small and fast
• Use Hono's built-in helpers for common response types
