converting a multidimentional JSON array to JS variables

Question

imagine you have the following JSON:

{"zero":{"0":"foo","1":"foo2"},"one":"fooa","two":"foob"}

What is the most efficient way to convert it to :

 var zero = ['foo','foo2'];
 var one = 'fooa';
 var two = 'foob';

Probably start off by changing it to: var obj = {"zero":["foo","foo2"],"one":"fooa","two":"foob"} And then be all like obj.zero or obj.one or obj.two — Shmiddty

Why do you want to use variables when you've got everything nicely organized in a data structure? — I Hate Lazy

@PedroEsperança: That doesn't really make sense. What does HTML have to do with your data references? — I Hate Lazy

JSON.parse:

var json = '{"zero":{"0":"foo","1":"foo2"},"one":"fooa","two":"foob"}';
var pJson = JSON.parse(json);
var zero = [ pJson.zero[0], pJson.zero[1] ];
var one = pJson.one;
var two = pJson.two;

could you help me visualize how to integrate this with a while? So that we can create an function that can do this to any kind of multidimensional array
