Without Ruby, I would like to find if a string is in a particular property of any of the elements of an array. Is there any way to do this without using Ruby?

Let's say an array contains objects each with a 'name' property and a 'value' property. I would like to find if any of the elements contain a 'name' property of 'CorrelationId'.
