Is it possible to assign references to objects in JSON? I have data that looks like this:

[{

  name:name,

  Parent:[{

    name:parentName

    Parent:[{

       .....//and so on

    }]

  }]

}]

I need to traverse it in JavaScript and also change the person's name. How can I do this?

You can't. You can specify the path to the parent as a string and evaluate that at runtime, but as JSON is just strings, integers, arrays, and dictionaries, you can't use references.
