Hono

Hono is a web framework for JavaScript runtimes. The same application code runs on Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, and several other environments, because the framework targets the standard Request and Response interfaces rather than a runtime-specific API. The core is deliberately small. Routing is built on a radix tree, middleware composes as a chain, and the framework adds typed helpers for the things an HTTP service needs: parsing input, validating it, setting headers, and returning JSON. Type inference carries path parameters and request bodies through to the handler, so a route can be typed without a separate schema layer. Hono is a good fit for APIs, edge functions, and small services where a full application framework would be excess weight. It is not trying to be a batteries-included framework: there is no built-in ORM, no opinion about the frontend, and no plugin ecosystem of the size a larger framework has accumulated.
