I guess "parsing" is the best existing category. But in general, you can create a new category if none fits.
I think that regular expression engines form a category in themselves.

I made it textproc, as I usually use it for... well, messing with text. Things like TeX-related snowballs could go there too.
But I can understand parsing, the IRC package I'm working on uses it more as a parser.
Then again like you said, I could see it being its own category as well. Maybe something like Andrew Wright's "match" could go in that category too.
In the end though, I was asked to stick it under parsing so that's where it went. I can always change it again if need be.

Note that you can put it in several categories. For example:
(keywords: parsing regexp text)
The first keyword is used for the main categorization.
