Once you've parsed your object, pass it to a function like this.

IEnumerable<XElement> GetAttributedDataElements(JObject obj, string memberName)
{
    return
        from JObject o in obj[memberName].AsJEnumerable()
        select CreateNode(memberName, o);
}

XElement CreateNode(string memberName, JObject obj)
{
    return new XElement(memberName,
        from JProperty m in obj.AsJEnumerable()
        select CreateNode(m)
    );
}

XObject CreateNode(JProperty member)
{
    var value = member.Value;
    switch (value.Type)
    {
    case JTokenType.String:
    case JTokenType.Integer:
        return new XAttribute(member.Name, value);
    default:
        // assuming all others are objects
        return CreateNode(member.Name, (JObject)value);
    }
}
