Here is an example from the tree-view:

[
  {
    'label': 'View'
    'submenu': [
      { 'label': 'Toggle Tree View', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle' }
    ]
  }
  {
    'label': 'Packages'
    'submenu': [
      'label': 'Tree View'
      'submenu': [
        { 'label': 'Focus', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle-focus' }
        { 'label': 'Toggle', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle' }
        { 'label': 'Reveal Active File', 'command': 'tree-view:reveal-active-file' }
        { 'label': 'Toggle Tree Side', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle-side' }
      ]
    ]
  }
]

Use in your package's menu .cson file requires that you place your menu structure under a menu key.

'menu': [
  {
    'label': 'View'
    'submenu': [
      { 'label': 'Toggle Tree View', 'command': 'tree-view:toggle' }
    ]
  }
]
