  • I think it's beer.sizes.568.name which you are looking for. As for the loop traversals, there have been plenty of similarly asked questions – Sagar Aug 14 '17 at 12:08
  • do you know the exact path or just the key to display? – atiq1589 Aug 14 '17 at 12:09
  • No I do not know exact path, can I find it dynamically? – Bomber Aug 14 '17 at 12:11

Obviously this approach may have many drawbacks as the loop can go infinite in some situations, but, if you know that your structure is "stable", this can simulate a search in some dynamic json schema, when you know a key and want to get a property value.
