% convert a JData object (in the form of a struct array) into an array
%
% authors:Qianqian Fang (q.fang <at> neu.edu)
%
% input:
%      data: a struct array. If data contains JData keywords in the first
%            level children, these fields are parsed and regrouped into a
%            data object (arrays, trees, graphs etc) based on JData 
%            specification. The JData keywords are
%               "_ArrayType_", "_ArraySize_", "_ArrayData_"
%               "_ArrayIsSparse_", "_ArrayIsComplex_", 
%               "_ArrayCompressionMethod_", "_ArrayCompressionSize",
%               "_ArrayCompressedData_"
%      opt: (optional) a list of 'Param',value pairs for additional options 
%           The supported options include
%               'Recursive', if set to 1, will apply the conversion to 
%                            every child; 0 to disable
%               'Base64'. if set to 1, _ArrayCompressedData_ is assumed to
%                         be encoded with base64 format and need to be
%                         decoded first. This is needed for JSON but not
%                         UBJSON data
%
% output:
%      newdata: the covnerted data if the input data does contain a JData 
%               structure; otherwise, the same as the input.
