Add Hono #318

Closed mcollina closed 1 year ago

mcollina commented 1 year ago

Hono seems a good framework to add to the benchmark lists. It has 40k weekly downloads!

Hi @mcollina!

I'm the creator of Hono. Thank you for adding Hono to your list. However, I'd like to mention an important point, although you might already be aware of it. I think it's not necessary to include this in the README or anywhere else.

Hono is entirely based on Web-standard APIs. It's fast on platforms like Cloudflare Workers, Deno, and Bun. However, Hono cannot run natively on Node.js. It relies on a Node server adapter to convert Node.js's IncomingMessage/OutgoingMessage to and from the Web standards' Request/Response. This conversion introduces a significant overhead, and naturally, it leads to reduced performance on Node.js.

I knew this limitation, and I also recognize Fastify is super fast. I don't want to fight :)

Nevertheless, it's beneficial for users to understand the performance benchmarks of these frameworks, particularly in the context of Node.js.

Thank you!

Noted! The reason I added this was to check Hono performance, as quite a few people asked me how it performed on Node.js. Given its popularity, I thought adding to this table would make sense. But I'm ok it you want to remove it.

Thank you! I'd like to take some time to consider whether to remove it or not. I'll let you know if we want to remove it.

By the way, it's interesting to note that Hono performs faster on Node.js 20 than on Node.js 18. I think that the Web-standard APIs in Node.js are improving. This is a great thing!

I’m part of the team working on them ;).
