Hono 4.0.0, the latest release of the fast, lightweight web framework that runs on any JavaScript runtime, is now available. The update features static site generation, client components, and file-based routing.

Launched February 9, Hono 4.0.0 introduces the SSG Helper, which generates static pages of Hono applications. Developers use this by creating a separate file from the application, build.ts, and calling the toSSG() function in it.

A plug-in for Vite, @hono/vite-ssg, builds static sites with the vite command.
