Using Perl and its JSON module:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature qw{ say };

use JSON;

my $input = << '__JSON__';
{"id":"111","case":"Y","custom":{"speech invoked":"no","input method":"hard","session ID":"420"}}
__JSON__

my $struct = decode_json($input);

my @header = grep ! ref $struct->{$_}, keys %$struct;
push @header, map keys %{ $struct->{$_} },
              grep ref $struct->{$_},
              keys %$struct;

my @row = grep ! ref, values %$struct;
push @row, map values %$_, grep ref, values %$struct;

say join ',', @header;
say join ',', @row;
