[Hono](https://github.com/honojs/hono) is a lightweight web framework designed for the edge.

```ts server.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e-farm-de84d354-pm-sbom/IPGjipyt_DGwYrQc/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=IPGjipyt_DGwYrQc&q=85&s=4448657ec154e63e3a095030af59c903" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
import { Hono } from "hono";
const app = new Hono();

app.get("/", c => c.text("Hono!"));

export default app;
```

Use `create-hono` to get started with one of Hono's project templates. Select `bun` when prompted for a template.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}

```

```txt theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
