Hi Charles,
I've implemented Andrew's excellent GML parser in LightGraphs (in the "gml"
branch for now until a few things can be clarified and docs can be
written). To use it, checkout the gml branch and then use g =
readgml("/path/to/file.gml").
Note that there are a few issues with the GML parser (see the ones I opened
at https://github.com/andrewcooke/ParserCombinator.jl/issues) but it seems
to work for smaller gml files at this point.
Note also that readgml() is not type-stable, as it will create either a
Graph or DiGraph depending on what it finds in the file. Not sure this is a
huge problem.
