Kind of, if you go by Douglas Crockford's example (he 'invented' json).
But there is nothing standardized.
http://www.json.org/java/index.html

When I have had to work with JSON in java, I have prefered the following
which is based on on Crockford's work:
http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/

Also, at the bottom of the json.org page I saw links for:

  * JSONPath.
  * Jaql: A JSON Query Language.
  * XSLTJSON.
xml2json-xslt.

Oh, and there is always something like:

var parse = function(something) {
  if (something instanceof Array) {
     for (var i=0; i < something.length; i++) {
       parse(something[i]);
    }
  } elseif (something instanceof Object) {
    for (var prop in something) {
      parse(something[prop]);
    }
  } else {
    return something;
  }
};
