How can I convert my JSON to CSV using jq?

Question

I have the following JSON data:

{\"id\":\"111\",\"case\":\"Y\",\"custom\":{\"speech invoked\":\"no\",\"input method\":\"hard\",\"session ID\":\"420\"}}

Using jq, you can use this filter:

with_entries(select(.key != "custom")) + .custom
    | to_entries
    | map(.key), map(.value)
    | @csv

Just note that written this way, the "custom" properties will always be written in the end, no matter what order the properties are in.
