Pandas has a JSON normalization function (as of 0.13), straight out of the docs:

In [205]: from pandas.io.json import json_normalize

In [206]: data = [{'state': 'Florida',
   .....:           'shortname': 'FL',
   .....:           'info': {
   .....:                'governor': 'Rick Scott'
   .....:           },
   .....:           'counties': [{'name': 'Dade', 'population': 12345},
   .....:                       {'name': 'Broward', 'population': 40000},
   .....:                       {'name': 'Palm Beach', 'population': 60000}]},
   .....:          {'state': 'Ohio',
   .....:           'shortname': 'OH',
   .....:           'info': {
   .....:                'governor': 'John Kasich'
   .....:           },
   .....:           'counties': [{'name': 'Summit', 'population': 1234},
   .....:                        {'name': 'Cuyahoga', 'population': 1337}]}]
   .....: 

In [207]: json_normalize(data, 'counties', ['state', 'shortname', ['info', 'governor']])
Out[207]: 
         name  population info.governor    state shortname
0        Dade       12345    Rick Scott  Florida        FL
1     Broward       40000    Rick Scott  Florida        FL
2  Palm Beach       60000    Rick Scott  Florida        FL
3      Summit        1234   John Kasich     Ohio        OH
4    Cuyahoga        1337   John Kasich     Ohio        OH
