PHP 解析 ElasticSearch 的 json 方法，有關遍歷所有 json 元素。

大家好。
小弟在開發工作遇到一個困難點。
以下是eleasticsearch返回的json資料：
{
"took" : 12,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"failed" : 0

"hits" : [ {

}
}, {
"_index" : "cef",
"_type" : "alert",

} ]
}
}

各位可以看到，在Extension後方會有不定量的ext欄位（實際上開發時不只ext），有時有三個，有時有一個，甚至十個。
目前我解析的方式是
decoded = json_decode($json); //decode json
$results = $decoded->hits->hits;
foreach ($results as $item) {
$id = $item->_id; //get the id
$version = $item->_source->version; // get the version
$user = $item->_source->user; // get the user
$device_vendor = $item->_source->deviceVendor; // get the device_vendor
$device_product = $item->_source->deviceProduct; // get the device_product
$device_version = $item->_source->deviceVersion; // get the device_version
$signature_id = $item->_source->signatureId; // get the signature_id
$description = $item->_source->name; // get the description
$severity = $item->_source->severity; // get the severity
$extension = $item->_source->extension; // get the extension

}

這樣子的寫法可以清楚的去撈出我需求的資料，前提是我知道回傳的欄位是什麼。
那像現在無法預測欄位的情形，只能去遍歷整個json，但我不知道該如何下手，希望各位先進指點一下。
感謝！
