Is there are a way to recursively loop over all the nested properties of a JS/jQuery object?

For example, given this object

    \'name\': \

I was originally looking for a way to search a javascript object recursively and I found this post very helpful, in particular Jeroen Moons's answer. I have tweaked it to provide a return object. Input is object to search and a {key:value} object (needle).

function searchObject(object, keyvalue){
    var found = false;
    for (var property in object){
        if (object.hasOwnProperty(property)){
            if (typeof object[property] == 'object'){
                found = searchObject(object[property], keyvalue);
                if (found)
                    return found;
            }else{
                key = Object.keys(keyvalue)[0];
                if (property == key && object[key] == keyvalue[key]){
                    console.log('searchObject ' + keyvalue[key] + ' found');
                    return object;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
