You Should Drop Express and Try Hono
CJ talks about Hono, a modern JavaScript framework for building web APIs, showing why you should use it over Express. He covers Hono's familiar Express-like API, wide platform support, built-in helpers, JSX support, routing, validation, RPC client, testing, and more.
CJ joins Scott and Wes to dive into why he's all-in on Hono, a fast and lightweight web framework for every JavaScript runtime. From familiar route creation to type-safe middleware, find out how Hono keeps things simple, powerful, and ready to use inside Next.js.
