Usage example
-------------

```kotlin

class Example {
//declares a property of type String that load data from "ROOT/aaa/ggg/text()"
var content by JXML / "aaa" / "ggg" / XText

//same, but for attribute value
var attribute by JXML / "aaa" / XAttribute("yohoho")

//parses sub-object fields
var sub by JXML / "sub" / XSub(Sub::class.java)

//collection (aka List<>) of strings is loaded here
var collection by JXML / "parameters" / XElements("param") / "aaa" / XText

//collection (aka List<>) of sub objects
var any by JXML / "parameters" / XAnyElements / XSub(Sub::class.java)
}

class Sub {
// [2] --- allows to define persist order
var key by JXML[2] / XAttribute("key")

// this specifies default value
var value by JXML[1] / XAttribute("value") - "defaultValue"

// sometimes a part of XML should be loaded as-is. Type is org.jdom.Element
var unknown by JXML / XUnknown
}

///Usage examples
fun test() {
val e = Example()

/// save to XML
val saved = JDOM.save(e)

/// load from XML
val copy = JDOM.load(saved, Example::class.java)
}
```
