I'm having a problem handling JSON data within JavaScript, specifically in regards to using the data as an array and accessing and iterating through individual values. The JSON file is structured as follows:

{
  "head": {
    "vars": [ "place" , "lat" , "long" , "page" ]
  } ,
  "results": {
    "bindings": [
      {
        "place": { "type": "literal" , "value": "Building A" } ,
        "lat": { "datatype": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#float" , "type": "typed-literal" , "value": "10.3456" } ,
        "long": { "datatype": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#float" , "type": "typed-literal" , "value": "-1.2345" } ,
        "page": { "type": "uri" , "value": "http://www.example.com/a.html" }
      } ,
      {
        "place": { "type": "literal" , "value": "Building B" } ,
        "lat": { "datatype": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#float" , "type": "typed-literal" , "value": "11.3456" } ,
        "long": { "datatype": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#float" , "type": "typed-literal" , "value": "-2.2345" } ,
        "page": { "type": "uri" , "value": "http://www.example.com/b.html" }
      } ,
      {
        "place": { "type": "literal" , "value": "Building C" } ,
        "lat": { "datatype": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#float" , "type": "typed-literal" , "value": "12.3456" } ,
        "long": { "datatype": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#float" , "type": "typed-literal" , "value": "-3.2345" } ,
        "page": { "type": "uri" , "value": "http://www.example.com/c.html" }
      }
    ]
  }
}

I want to be able to convert this into a JavaScript array as follows in order that I can iterate through it and pull out the values for each location in order:

var locations = [
        ['Building A',10.3456,-1.2345,'http://www.example.com/a.html'],
        ['Building B',11.3456,-2.2345,'http://www.example.com/b.html'],
        ['Building C',12.3456,-3.2345,'http://www.example.com/c.html']
];

Does anyone have any advice on how to achieve this? I have tried the following, but it picks up the "type" within the JSON, rather than just the value:

$.each(JSONObject.results.bindings, function(i, object) {
    $.each(object, function(property, object) {
        $.each(object, function(property, value) {
              value;
        });
    });
});

Any help, suggestions, advice or corrections would be greatly appreciated.
