Hono provides a more minimalist and performant routing system, often using pattern matching or simple string matching. Next.js has a file-system-based routing and supports dynamic routes. When integrating Hono, you typically define Hono routes within your API directory or as separate Hono applications that are then exposed via Cloudflare Workers. Next.js routing handles the frontend rendering and its own API routes, while Hono routes are specifically for the API endpoints you've built with Hono.
