"""Helper functions to parse the the raw_specifications xml string into a
|
|
dictionary containing the values we are interested in.
|
|
I decided to parse raw_speficications instead of using the "specifications"
|
|
column because the raw data seemed to be cleaner and more consistent, even if
|
|
it requires more effort to parse.
|
|
|
|
First I parse the xml into a dictionary. Then, I standardize the found keys into
|
|
some keys I expect.
