A netlist generator is a function that takes = schematic files as input and yields a netlist as output. It=E2=80=99s a = pure functional problem requiring no mutable data. Mutable objects are a = distraction.

This is different from = schematic capture, where the data is necessarily mutable in response to = user interaction.
