Hono API Routing & Middleware
Builds high-performance, type-safe APIs and middleware chains for edge runtimes like Cloudflare Workers, Bun, and Deno.
This skill provides expert guidance for architecting robust backends using the Hono framework. It covers the full spectrum of modern API development, from basic routing and sub-app grouping to advanced features like Zod-backed request validation, RPC for end-to-end type safety, and real-time streaming for AI responses. Designed for developers working on Cloudflare Workers, Bun, or Node.js, it ensures your APIs are secure, scalable, and fully type-safe by implementing best practices for middleware, security headers, and WebSocket management.
