% author: Qianqian Fang (q.fang <at> neu.edu)
% initially created on 2013/08/17
%
% By default, this function creates BJD-compliant output. The BJD
% specification is largely similar to UBJSON, with additional data types
% including uint16(u), uint32(m), uint64(M) and half-precision float (h).
% Starting from BJD Draft-2 (JSONLab 3.0 beta or later), all integer and
% floating-point numbers are stored in Little-Endian as opposed to
% Big-Endian form as in BJD Draft-1/UBJSON Draft-12 (JSONLab 2.1 or older)
%
% Format specifications:
%    Binary JData (BJD):   https://github.com/NeuroJSON/bjdata
%    UBJSON:               https://github.com/ubjson/universal-binary-json
%    MessagePack:          https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack
%
% 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 UBJSON data
%      opt: a struct for additional options, ignore to use default values.
%           opt can have the following fields (first in [.|.] is the default)
%
%           FileName [''|string]: a file name to save the output JSON data
%           ArrayToStruct[0|1]: when set to 0, savebj 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_":true will be added
%                         with a value of 1; for a complex array, the
%                         "_ArrayData_" array will include two rows
%                         (4 for sparse) to record the real and imaginary
%                         parts, and also "_ArrayIsComplex_":true is added.
%                         Other annotations include "_ArrayShape_" and
%                         "_ArrayOrder_", "_ArrayZipLevel_" etc.
%          NestArray    [0|1]: If set to 1, use nested array constructs
%                         to store N-dimensional arrays (compatible with
%                         UBJSON specification Draft 12); if set to 0,
%                         use the JData (v0.5) optimized N-D array header;
%                         NestArray is automatically set to 1 when
%                         MessagePack is set to 1
%          ParseLogical [1|0]: if this is set to 1, logical array elem
%                         will use true/false rather than 1/0.
%          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.
%          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.
%          ForceRootName [0|1]: when set to 1 and rootname is empty, savebj
%                         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.
%          JSONP [''|string]: to generate a JSONP output (JSON with padding),
%                         for example, if opt.JSON='foo', the JSON data is
%                         wrapped inside a function call as 'foo(...);'
%          UnpackHex [1|0]: convert the 0x[hex code] output by loadjson
%                         back to the string form
%          Compression  'zlib', 'gzip', 'lzma', 'lzip', 'lz4' or 'lz4hc': specify array
%                         compression method; currently only supports 6 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 integer array to
%                            store the pre-compressed (but post-processed)
%                            array dimensions, and
%                         "_ArrayZipData_": the binary stream of
%                            the compressed binary array data WITHOUT
%                            'base64' encoding
%          CompressArraySize [100|int]: only to compress an array if the total
%                         element count is larger than this number.
%          CompressStringSize [inf|int]: only to compress a string if the total
%                         element count is larger than this number.
%          MessagePack [0|1]: output MessagePack (https://msgpack.org/)
%                         binary stream instead of BJD/UBJSON
%          UBJSON [0|1]: 0: (default)-encode data based on BJData Draft 1
%                         (supports uint16(u)/uint32(m)/uint64(M)/half(h) markers)
%                        1: encode data based on UBJSON Draft 12 (without
%                         u/m/M/h markers);all numeric values are stored in
%                         the Big-Endian byte order according to Draft-12
%          FormatVersion [2|float]: set the JSONLab output version; since
%                         v2.0, JSONLab uses JData specification Draft 3
%                         for output format, it is incompatible with releases
%                         older than v1.9.8; if old output is desired,
%                         please set FormatVersion to 1.9 or earlier.
%          KeepType [0|1]: if set to 1, use the original data type to store
%                         integers instead of converting to the integer type
%                         of the minimum length without losing accuracy (default)
%          Debug [0|1]: output binary numbers in <%g> format for debugging
%          Append [0|1]: if set to 1, append a new object at the end of the file.
%          Endian ['L'|'B']: specify the endianness of the numbers
%                         in the BJData/UBJSON input data. Default: 'L'.
%
%                         Starting from JSONLab 2.9, BJData by default uses
%                         [L] Little-Endian for both integers and floating
%                         point numbers. This is a major departure from the
%                         UBJSON specification, where 'B' - Big-Endian -
%                         format is used for integer fields. UBJSON does
%                         not specifically define Endianness for
%                         floating-point numbers, resulting in mixed
%                         implementations. JSONLab 2.0-2.1 used 'B' for
%                         integers and floating-points; JSONLab 1.x uses
%                         'B' for integers and native-endianness for
%                         floating-point numbers.
%          FileEndian ['n'|'b','l']: Endianness of the output file ('n': native,
%                         'b': big endian, 'l': little-endian)
%          PreEncode [1|0]: if set to 1, call jdataencode first to preprocess
%                         the input data before saving
%
%        opt can be replaced by a list of ('param',value) pairs. The param
%        string is equivalent to a field in opt and is case sensitive.
% output:
%      bjd: a binary string in the UBJSON format (see http://ubjson.org)
