Graph Data structure to storing components in spice netlist.

[Jonay Aloat]

Hi;

I want to write a simple parser that can parse a spice nelist that contains
capacitor, resistor, and mosfet. I want to store the componets in a graph
so I can perform the following actions.

1. Check whether or not the network is connected/disconnected
2. Check which components are connectd to the net
3. Check whether the components are in series/paralle.

Any hint where should I start?

Thank you.

There may already be tools to do this. If you have to roll your own, try these tools:
