How can I loop through all members in a JavaScript object including values that are objects.

For example, how could I loop through this (accessing the "your_name" and "your_message" for each)?

var validation_messages = {
    "key_1": {
    	"your_name": "jimmy",
    	"your_msg": "hello world"
    },
    "key_2": {
    	"your_name": "billy",
    	"your_msg": "foo equals bar"
    }
}
