Your posted example has some syntax issues. I assume that was simple an error in your example preparation, and not actually in your code. Corrected and formatted, it looks like:

[
    {
        "A": "1",
        "B": {
            "name": "joe",
            "lastname": "jones"
        },
        "COLORS": {
            "red": "rojo",
            "blue": "azul"
        },
        "active": "yes"
    }
]

In your response example, 'response' is an array with one item. That item is an object which has property 'B' (among others). So you'd access:

response[0].B.name

alert("hi " + response[0].B.name);

Your response is an array with an object as its first element
