function o = loadjson_(jsonfilename)

% Reads a JSON file using jsondecode builtin.
%
% Returns the output in a format consistent with the output of the JSONlab
% toolbox, that we used to rely on (jsondecode builtin was introduced in MATLAB
% R2016b and in Octave 7). Now we no longer depend on JSONlab, but for
% historical reasons we still use its format.
%
% INPUTS
% - jsonfilename   [char]      1×n char array, name of the JSON file.
%
% OUTPUTS
% - o              [struct]    content of the JSON file.
