Presets

Hono has several routers, each designed for a specific purpose. You can specify the router you want to use in the constructor of Hono.

Presets are provided for common use cases, so you don't have to specify the router each time. The Hono class imported from all presets is the same, the only difference being the router. Therefore, you can use them interchangeably.

hono

Usage:

import { Hono } from 'hono'

Routers:

this.router = new SmartRouter({
  routers: [new RegExpRouter(), new TrieRouter()],
})

hono/quick

Usage:

import { Hono } from 'hono/quick'

Router:

this.router = new SmartRouter({
  routers: [new LinearRouter(), new TrieRouter()],
})

hono/tiny

Usage:

import { Hono } from 'hono/tiny'

Router:

this.router = new PatternRouter()

Which preset should I use?

Preset	Suitable platforms
hono	This is highly recommended for most use cases. Although the registration phase may be slower than hono/quick, it exhibits high performance once booted. It's ideal for long-life servers built with Deno, Bun, or Node.js. For environments such as Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, where v8 isolates are utilized, this preset is suitable as well. Because the isolations persist for a certain amount of time after booting.
hono/quick	This preset is designed for environments where the application is initialized for every request. Fastly Compute operates in this manner, thus this preset is recommended for such use.
hono/tiny	This is the smallest router package and it's suitable for environments where resources are limited.
