MapNested is a subclass from 'containers.map' which implements nested maps (easy multi-key access)

Matlab-NestedMap
Matlab implementation for nested maps (map of maps). This class implements easy set and get access for multible keys. The syntax is the following: Generate a new MapNested object:
NMapobj = MapNested(); %generate a new object
Write values to the Map (2 possibilites):

%possibility 1 syntax:
NMapobj('key1', 'key2', 'key3') = 10; %assign value 10 to the keyList
NMapobj({'key1', 'key2', 'key4'}) = 5; %assign value 5 using a cell array for the keyList

%possibility 2 - use the 'setValueNested' function
NMapobj = setValueNested(NMapobj, {key1, key2, key3}, 10);
NMapobj = setValueNested(NMapobj, {key1, key2, key4}, 5);
Retrieve values from the Map (2 possibilites):

%possibility 1:
value1 = NMapobj(key1, key2, key3); %returns '10'
value2 = NMapobj({key1, key2, key4}); %return '5'

%possibility 2 - using 'getValueNested' - function
value1 = getValueNested(NMapobj ,{key1, key2, key3}); %returns '10'
value2 = getValueNested(NMapobj ,{key1, key2, key4}); %returns '5'
Call superclass Methods (see containers.Map: eg isKey, keys, length, remove, size, values):

NMapobj.superclassMethod()
Retrieve properties (see containers.Map: eg. Count, KeyType, ValueType):

NMapobj.property
Delete Entries:

NMapobj('Key') = [];
remove(NMapobj, 'Key');
This function is a subclass from Matlabs 'containers.map'-class:

ATTENTION: Cell-arrays can not be assigned to the map

NMapobj('key1', 'key2', 'key3') = {'a', 'cell', 'array'}; %throws error see: https://github.com/RolandRitt/Matlab-NestedMap
