Question: Should I expand_address before parsing?

[piotratlz]

Hi

As it was written in issue title I wonder if I it is recommended to expand address before running parse_address?
My main goal is to identify unique addresses in dataset and it seems natural to first normalise an address and then parse it to extract labeled parts.

Usually the other way around, parse then expand each component with its specific dictionaries. See the https://github.com/openvenues/lieu project for some examples in Python
