title: Are there any jquery features to query multi-dimensional arrays in a similar fashion to the DOM?
body: <p>What the question says...</p>
  
  <p>Does jQuery have any methods that will allow you to query a mult-dimensional array of objects in a similar fashion as it does with the DOM.</p>
  
  <p>So for instance, get me a list of objects contained within a multi-dimensional array having some matching property value - for instance where StartOfPeriod greater than a specified date or where name == "Ben Alabaster"</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to avoid re-inventing the wheel if there's something already out there. </p>
