# Outer Join

Connections implemented through the `JOIN/ON` keywords uniformly use `@Join` for mapping.

This type of connection adds dynamic query conditions after the `ON` keyword. To achieve this, a new query object is introduced to map the conditions of the `ON` clause, and it is defined as a field of the main query object.

For this purpose, a new annotation `@Join` is designed to map the joined tables and specify the join type, while reusing the existing `@ForeignKey` annotation to map the join conditions.
