+ *
+ * If depth <= 1, it's a top-level element (aka a root).

+ * If it's depth is greater than the previous entry's depth, it's a child of
+ *  the previous entry. Otherwise (if it's less than or equal to the previous
+ *  entry's depth), we need to find the entry that it was the greater than. We
