Line 1: [[Image:JSP RLE output1.png\|thumb\|240px\|Example of a JSP diagram.]] '''Jackson structured programming''' ('''JSP''') is a method for [[structured programming]] developed by British software ~~development~~ consultant [[Michael A. Jackson]] and described in his 1975 book ''Principles of Program Design''.<ref name="PoPD">{{Citation \| first = MA \| last = Jackson \| title = Principles of Program Design \| publisher = Academic \| year = 1975}}.</ref> The technique of JSP is to analyze the data structures of the files that a program must read as input and produce as output, and then produce a program design based on those data structures, so that the program control structure handles those data structures in a natural and intuitive way. JSP describes structures (of both data and programs) using three basic structures— sequence, iteration, and selection (or altenatives). These structures are diagrammed as (in effect) a visual representation of a [[regular expression]].
