You could use a JS templating engine to transform your JSON to a humanly readable HTML.

Here is an example of recursion with the PURE templating lib: http://beebole.com/pure/documentation/recursion-example/

The template here is quite generic, using a UL/LI combination.

Or if you want to render it for instance in a textbox you can use JSON.stringify:

document.getElementById('theTextBox').value = JSON.stringify(theJson, null, 2);

The call above to stringify will indent the JSON with 2 spaces.
