 * @classdesc
 * A single Tiled Tilemap JSON File suitable for loading by the Loader.
 *
 * These are created when you use the Phaser.Loader.LoaderPlugin#tilemapTiledJSON method and are not typically created directly.
 *
 * For documentation about what all the arguments and configuration options mean please see Phaser.Loader.LoaderPlugin#tilemapTiledJSON.

 * @extends Phaser.Loader.FileTypes.JSONFile
 * @memberof Phaser.Loader.FileTypes
 * @constructor
 * @since 3.0.0
 *
 * @param {Phaser.Loader.LoaderPlugin} loader - A reference to the Loader that is responsible for this file.
 * @param {(string|Phaser.Types.Loader.FileTypes.TilemapJSONFileConfig)} key - The key to use for this file, or a file configuration object.
 * @param {object|string} [url] - The absolute or relative URL to load this file from. If undefined or `null` it will be set to `<key>.json`, i.e. if `key` was "alien" then the URL will be "alien.json". Or, a well formed JSON object.
 * @param {Phaser.Types.Loader.XHRSettingsObject} [xhrSettings] - Extra XHR Settings specifically for this file.

/**
 * Adds a Tiled JSON Tilemap file, or array of map files, to the current load queue.
 *
 * You can call this method from within your Scene's `preload`, along with any other files you wish to load:
 *
 * ```javascript
 * function preload ()
 * {
 *     this.load.tilemapTiledJSON('level1', 'maps/Level1.json');
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * The Tilemap data is created using the Tiled Map Editor and selecting JSON as the export format.
 *
 * The file is **not** loaded right away. It is added to a queue ready to be loaded either when the loader starts,
 * or if it's already running, when the next free load slot becomes available. This happens automatically if you
 * are calling this from within the Scene's `preload` method, or a related callback. Because the file is queued
 * it means you cannot use the file immediately after calling this method, but must wait for the file to complete.
 * The typical flow for a Phaser Scene is that you load assets in the Scene's `preload` method and then when the
 * Scene's `create` method is called you are guaranteed that all of those assets are ready for use and have been
 * loaded.
 *
 * The key must be a unique String. It is used to add the file to the global Tilemap Cache upon a successful load.
 * The key should be unique both in terms of files being loaded and files already present in the Tilemap Cache.
 * Loading a file using a key that is already taken will result in a warning. If you wish to replace an existing file
 * then remove it from the Text Cache first, before loading a new one.
 *
 * Instead of passing arguments you can pass a configuration object, such as:
 *
 * ```javascript
 * this.load.tilemapTiledJSON({
 *     key: 'level1',
 *     url: 'maps/Level1.json'
 * });
 * ```
 *
 * See the documentation for `Phaser.Types.Loader.FileTypes.TilemapJSONFileConfig` for more details.
 *
 * Once the file has finished loading you can access it from its Cache using its key:
 *
 * ```javascript
 * this.load.tilemapTiledJSON('level1', 'maps/Level1.json');
 * // and later in your game ...
 * var map = this.make.tilemap({ key: 'level1' });
 * ```
 *
 * If you have specified a prefix in the loader, via `Loader.setPrefix` then this value will be prepended to this files
 * key. For example, if the prefix was `LEVEL1.` and the key was `Story` the final key will be `LEVEL1.Story` and
 * this is what you would use to retrieve the text from the Tilemap Cache.
 *
 * The URL can be relative or absolute. If the URL is relative the `Loader.baseURL` and `Loader.path` values will be prepended to it.
 *
 * If the URL isn't specified the Loader will take the key and create a filename from that. For example if the key is "level"
 * and no URL is given then the Loader will set the URL to be "level.json". It will always add `.json` as the extension, although
 * this can be overridden if using an object instead of method arguments. If you do not desire this action then provide a URL.
 *
 * Note: The ability to load this type of file will only be available if the Tilemap JSON File type has been built into Phaser.
 * It is available in the default build but can be excluded from custom builds.

 *
 * @param {(string|Phaser.Types.Loader.FileTypes.TilemapJSONFileConfig|Phaser.Types.Loader.FileTypes.TilemapJSONFileConfig[])} key - The key to use for this file, or a file configuration object, or array of them.

 * @param {Phaser.Types.Loader.XHRSettingsObject} [xhrSettings] - An XHR Settings configuration object. Used in replacement of the Loaders default XHR Settings.
