根据@Stephane LaFlèche的回答，我提出了另一个剧本版本。

JSFiddle演示

var obj = {"a":{"b":{"c":"Hello World"}},"resTest":"potato","success":"This path exists"};
checkForPathInObject = function(object,path,value) {
        var pathParts   = path.split("."),
            result      = false;
        // Check if required parameters are set; if not, return false
        if(!object || typeof object == 'undefined' || !path || typeof path != 'string')
            return false;
        /* Loop through object keys to find a way to the path or check for value
         * If the property does not exist, set result to false
         * If the property is an object, update @object
         * Otherwise, update result */
        for(var i=0;i<pathParts.length;i++){
            var currentPathPart = pathParts[i];
            if(!object.hasOwnProperty( currentPathPart )) {
                result = false;
            } else if (object[ currentPathPart ] && path == pathParts[i]) {
                result = pathParts[i];
                break;
            } else if(typeof object[ currentPathPart ] == 'object') {
                object = object[ currentPathPart ];
            } else {
                result = object[ currentPathPart ];
            }
        }
        /* */
        if(typeof value != 'undefined' && value == result)
            return true;
        return result;
};
// Uncomment the lines below to test the script
// alert( checkForPathInObject(obj,'a.b.c') ); // Results "Hello World"
// alert( checkForPathInObject(obj,'a.success') ); // Returns false
// alert( checkForPathInObject(obj,'resTest', 'potato') ); // Returns true

CMS给出的答案也适用于空检查的以下修改

function checkNested(obj /*, level1, level2, ... levelN*/) 
      {
             var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments),
             obj = args.shift();

            for (var i = 0; i < args.length; i++) 
            {
                if (obj == null || !obj.hasOwnProperty(args[i]) ) 
                {
                    return false;
                }
                obj = obj[args[i]];
            }
            return true;
    }

最好、最简单的答案是：

var isDefinedPath = function (path) {

    var items = path.split ('.');

    if (!items || items.length < 1 || !(items[0] in window)) { return false; }

    var buffer = [items[0]];
    for (var i = 1, e = items.length; i < e; i ++) {
        buffer.push (items[i]);
        if (eval ('typeof(' + buffer.join ('.') + ') == "undefined"')) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    return true;

}

测试：isDefinedPath（'level.level.level3'）；

第一级不能是数组，其他级别可以

另一个ES5解决方案：

function hasProperties(object, properties) {
    return !properties.some(function(property){
        if (!object.hasOwnProperty(property)) {
            return true;
        }
        object = object[property];
        return false;
    });
}

怎么样

try {
   alert(test.level1.level2.level3)
} catch(e) {
 ...whatever

}

基于这个答案，我使用ES2015提出了一个通用函数，可以解决这个问题

function validChain( object, ...keys ) {
    return keys.reduce( ( a, b ) => ( a || { } )[ b ], object ) !== undefined;
}

var test = {
  first: {
    second: {
        third: "This is not the key your are looking for"
    }
  }
}

if ( validChain( test, "first", "second", "third" ) ) {
    console.log( test.first.second.third );
}
