------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This class allows to save and load a serialization of basic c++ data types like
char, char*, std::string, bool, uint, int, float, double to and from a xml file.
Containers like std::vector, std::std::pair, Eigen dense and sparse matrices are supported
as well as combination of them (like vector<pair<string,bool>> or vector<vector<int>>).
To serialize an arbitary object use the XMLSerializable interface.
 
The serialized objects are organised in groups in the xml file and have
their own names which must be unique within one group.

You can find examples how to use it in the test case class XMLSerializerTest.
