%        options: (optional) if loading from a .bmsh file, please see the options for
%               loadbj.m (part of JSONLab); if loading from a .jmsh, please see the
%               supported options for loadjson.m (part of JSONLab).

%    output:
%        jmsh: a structure (array) or cell (array). The data structure can
%            be completely generic or auxilary data without any JMesh
%            constructs. However, if a JMesh object is included, it shall
%            contain the constructs defined in the JMesh specification
%
%    example:
%        [no,fc,el]=meshasphere([0 0 0],50,3,10);
%        savejmesh(no,fc,el,'box.jmsh');
%        newmesh=loadjmesh('box.jmsh');
