    This method is used to get band structure info from a VASP directory. It
    takes into account that the run can be divided in several branches named
    "branch_x". If the run has not been divided in branches the method will
    turn to parsing vasprun.xml directly.

    The method returns None is there"s a parsing error

    Args:
        dir_name: Directory containing all bandstructure runs.
        efermi: Efermi for bandstructure.
        projections: True if you want to get the data on site projections if
            any. Note that this is sometimes very large

    Returns:
