HiSravya
TheBlogisreallyexcellentandisveryhelpfulforabegginerlikemetogetaclearideaaboutthe

AndIhaveasmallqueryforyouthatInoticedinyourBlog.Whileexplaining"removeContexts"you
mentionedaline"WearemakingthegrandchildMaterialGroupasachildoftheheadernodeand

nodeandItemnodeareatthesamelevel.AndIfeelifHeadernodewouldhavebeentheparentof
ItemnodethenthechildofitemnodebecomesthegrandchildofHeadernode.Butthatisnotthe
