% input:
%      fname: (optional) input file name; if not given, load 'jamdata.jamm'
%           if fname has a '.json' or '.jdt' suffix, a text-based
%           JSON/JData file will be expected; if the suffix is '.jamm' or
%           '.jdb', a Binary JData file will be expected.
%      opt: (optional) a struct to store parsing options, opt can be replaced by 
%           a list of ('param',value) pairs - the param string is equivallent
%           to a field in opt. opt can have the following 
%           fields (first in [.|.] is the default)
%
%           ws ['caller'|'base']: the name of the workspace in which the
%                         variables are to be saved
%           vars [{'var1','var2',...}]: list of variables to be saved
%           header [0|1]: if set to 1, return the metadata of the variables 
%                         stored in the file
%           matlab [0|1] if set to 1, use matlab's built-in jsondecode to
%                         parse the json file and then decode the output by
%                         jdatadecode; input file must have a suffix of .jdt
%
%           all options for loadubjson/loadjson (depends on file suffix)
%           can be used to adjust the parsing options
%
% output:
%      varlist: a struct with each subfield a variable stored in the file,
%               if output is ignored, the variables will be loaded to the
%               workspace specified by the 'ws' option, which by default
%               load the variables to the current workspace ('caller')
%
% examples:
%      jload  % load all variables in jamdata.jamm to the 'caller' workspace 
%      jload mydat.jamm
%      jload('mydat.jamm','vars', {'v1','v2',...}) % load selected variables
%      varlist=jload('mydat.jamm','simplifycell',1)
