it's a javascript object, no such thing as a JSON object (unless you refer the string that contains JSON as an object) - but you're not dealing with a string, you're dealing with a javascript object — Jaromanda X, Aug 13 '15 at 11:34

Could something like this work for you?

for(var i in OBJECT){
   iterate(OBJECT[i]);
}

function iterate(item){

    for(var i in item){
       if(typeof item[i] == "object"){
           iterate(item[i]);
       }else{
           doAction();
       }
    }

    var doAction = function(){
       ///// WHATEVER ACTION
    }

}
