The way I would approach the task is to recurse into each object, and return the current object if it has a "componentId" key whose value matches your restriction.

Here is some code that does the recursion and returns all objects that include a "componentId". I marked the line where you would edit the logic to only return objects that have componentId whose value matches.

I am not a JSON expert, so there may be a way using the JSON module or helper module to do a more efficient recursive search than my manual answer. I yield to wiser monks.

edit: JSON module will be faster if you have installed JSON::XS, because it will try to use that if possible.

edit2: updated code to use the OP-style data, as interpreted by hippo, rather than my proprietary data; also fixed post and code so "componentId" had correct case on the "d"
