You are now following this Submission

can handle:
- real and complex matrices: scalars, 1D, 2D, N-D arrays
- struct arrays
- cell arrays
- function handles
- nesting of structures/cells
NOT supported: objects, xml attributes (are used for types and sizes)
usage:
tinyxml2_wrap('save', filename, variable)
tinyxml2_wrap('save', filename, variable, exportOptions)
variable = tinyxml2_wrap('load', filename)
