In previous versions of the API we could use

```auto
import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.sqltags.parser.TagPathParser
TagPath provider =TagPathParser.parse("[default]") 

```

to convert the string of a tag provider’s name to a tagpath. How would this be done now that TagPathParser is deprecated?
