    //  This is what we have:

    //  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    //  <a>
    //      <bbb>
    //          <ccc>
    //              <ddd>1</ddd>
    //              <ddd>
    //                  <z>zzz</z>

    //  The TagPath property is read-only property that returns the unique path to the
    //  node from the document root.

    //  For example:
    boolean found = xml.SearchForTag2(xml,"z");
    if (found == true) {
        //  We found a node having the tag "z".
        //  The TagPath property tells us the location in the document.
        String tagPath = xml.tagPath();
        System.out.println(tagPath);

        //  The tagPath is bbb|ccc|ddd[1]|z

        //  If we to back to the document root, we can get to the given node via the tagPath.
        xml.GetRoot2();
        System.out.println(xml.tag());
        //  The root tag is "a".

        //  Follow the tagPath to the "z" node:
        found = xml.FindChild2(tagPath);
        System.out.println("found = " + found + ", tag = " + xml.tag());
        //  We are now at "z".

        }
