What's your question?

- how to find the 'dates' element in a parsed tree?
- how to traverse the subtree of the 'dates' element?
- how to extract the data from the parsed tree?
- how to extract the data using iterparse()?
- how to map the data to a dictionary?
- how to map the data to a dictionary while parsing?
- how to map the data to a recursive structure of dictionaries?
- how to find a dictionary mapping that works well with JSON?
- how to find a dictionary mapping that works well in the use case that
  I didn't tell you about?
- ... something else ?
