General AFNI NIML I/O support

Created on Feb 16, 2012

@author: Nikolaas. N. Oosterhof (nikolaas.oosterhof@unitn.it)

This function reads a NIML file and returns a dict that contains all NIML information in a tree-like structure (dicts for which some values are dicts themselves). Branches are stored in a ‘nodes’ field.

For specific types of data, consider afni_niml_dset or afni_niml_annot files which provide easier access to the data.

TODO: some nice refactoring of the code. Currently it’s a bit of

a mess.
