% input:
%      rootname: the name of the root-object, when set to '', the root name
%        is ignored, however, when opt.ForceRootName is set to 1 (see below),
%        the MATLAB variable name will be used as the root name.
%      obj: a MATLAB object (array, cell, cell array, struct, struct array,
%      class instance).
%      filename: a string for the file name to save the output JSON data.
%      opt: a struct for additional options, ignore to use default values.
%        opt can have the following fields (first in [.|.] is the default)
%
%        opt.FileName [''|string]: a file name to save the output JSON data
%        opt.FloatFormat ['%.10g'|string]: format to show each numeric element
%                         of a 1D/2D array;
%        opt.ArrayIndent [1|0]: if 1, output explicit data array with
%                         precedent indentation; if 0, no indentation
%        opt.ArrayToStruct[0|1]: when set to 0, savejson outputs 1D/2D
%                         array in JSON array format; if sets to 1, an
%                         array will be shown as a struct with fields
%                         "_ArrayType_", "_ArraySize_" and "_ArrayData_"; for
%                         sparse arrays, the non-zero elements will be
%                         saved to _ArrayData_ field in triplet-format i.e.
%                         (ix,iy,val) and "_ArrayIsSparse_" will be added
%                         with a value of 1; for a complex array, the 
%                         _ArrayData_ array will include two columns 
%                         (4 for sparse) to record the real and imaginary 
%                         parts, and also "_ArrayIsComplex_":1 is added. 
%        opt.ParseLogical [0|1]: if this is set to 1, logical array elem
%                         will use true/false rather than 1/0.
%        opt.SingletArray [0|1]: if this is set to 1, arrays with a single
%                         numerical element will be shown without a square
%                         bracket, unless it is the root object; if 0, square
%                         brackets are forced for any numerical arrays.
%        opt.SingletCell  [1|0]: if 1, always enclose a cell with "[]" 
%                         even it has only one element; if 0, brackets
%                         are ignored when a cell has only 1 element.
%        opt.ForceRootName [0|1]: when set to 1 and rootname is empty, savejson
%                         will use the name of the passed obj variable as the 
%                         root object name; if obj is an expression and 
%                         does not have a name, 'root' will be used; if this 
%                         is set to 0 and rootname is empty, the root level 
%                         will be merged down to the lower level.
%        opt.Inf ['"$1_Inf_"'|string]: a customized regular expression pattern
%                         to represent +/-Inf. The matched pattern is '([-+]*)Inf'
%                         and $1 represents the sign. For those who want to use
%                         1e999 to represent Inf, they can set opt.Inf to '$11e999'
%        opt.NaN ['"_NaN_"'|string]: a customized regular expression pattern
%                         to represent NaN
%        opt.JSONP [''|string]: to generate a JSONP output (JSON with padding),
%                         for example, if opt.JSONP='foo', the JSON data is
%                         wrapped inside a function call as 'foo(...);'
%        opt.UnpackHex [1|0]: conver the 0x[hex code] output by loadjson 
%                         back to the string form
%        opt.SaveBinary [0|1]: 1 - save the JSON file in binary mode; 0 - text mode.
%        opt.Compact [0|1]: 1- out compact JSON format (remove all newlines and tabs)
%        opt.Compression  'zlib', 'gzip', 'lzma' or 'lzip': specify array compression
%                         method; currently only supports 4 methods. The
%                         data compression only applicable to numerical arrays 
%                         in 3D or higher dimensions, or when ArrayToStruct
%                         is 1 for 1D or 2D arrays. If one wants to
%                         compress a long string, one must convert
%                         it to uint8 or int8 array first. The compressed
%                         array uses three extra fields
%                         "_ArrayZipType_": the opt.Compression value. 
%                         "_ArrayZipSize_": a 1D interger array to
%                            store the pre-compressed (but post-processed)
%                            array dimensions, and 
%                         "_ArrayZipData_": the "base64" encoded
%                             compressed binary array data. 
%        opt.CompressArraySize [100|int]: only to compress an array if the total 
%                         element count is larger than this number.
%        opt.FormatVersion [2|float]: set the JSONLab output version; since
%                         v2.0, JSONLab uses JData specification Draft 1
%                         for output format, it is incompatible with all
%                         previous releases; if old output is desired,
%                         please set FormatVersion to 1.9 or earlier.
%
%        opt can be replaced by a list of ('param',value) pairs. The param 
%        string is equivallent to a field in opt and is case sensitive.
% output:
%      json: a string in the JSON format (see http://json.org)
%
% examples:
%      jsonmesh=struct('MeshNode',[0 0 0;1 0 0;0 1 0;1 1 0;0 0 1;1 0 1;0 1 1;1 1 1],...
