Is there a simple way to get a `List<TagNode>` for a certain parent path, with each Folder `TagNode` contains `TagNode` children where applicable?

I’ve tried using the `SQLTagsManager .browseTagInfo` function, and when passing the recursive parameter as true get a `BrowseResults<TagInfoResult>` set. However, this flat set doesn’t seem to respect my tag folder structure.

Any suggestions?

Try using [TagManager](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition79/795/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/sqltags/model/TagManager.html).getTag() on your folder [TagPath](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition79/795/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/sqltags/model/TagPath.html). I believe you’ll get a [GatewayFolderTag](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition79/795/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/sqltags/tags/GatewayFolderTag.html) which has a getChildren() method.
