Module json 

JSON sidecar file handling for BIDS metadata.

BIDS uses JSON sidecar files to provide metadata for data files. These sidecars follow the BIDS inheritance principle: a sidecar at a higher directory level applies to all matching data files below it, and can be overridden by more-specific sidecars closer to the data file.

This module provides functions for reading, merging, and discovering JSON sidecars.

Functions

find_sidecars

Find all applicable JSON sidecar files for a given data file, walking up the directory tree (BIDS inheritance principle).

merge_json_sidecars

Merge JSON sidecars following BIDS inheritance: more-specific files override less-specific ones.

read_json

Read a JSON file and return it as a generic serde_json::Value.

read_json_sidecar

Read a JSON sidecar file and return it as BidsMetadata.
