Hono
A server-side lightweight Web Framework similar to Express but with modern features

Hono is a modern and powerful JavaScript server framework.

I like it in particular because it’s lightweight and is very similar to how Express works, so I can reuse the mental models I already know, but it has better support for promises and async/await, and also allows us to easily use JSX, something I really like to built templates instead of EJS or Pug or Handlebars or whatever server-side template engine you might use in Express.

Let’s find out how to use it.
