Hi, I'm not sure if that's what you need - but since vala uses glib internaly (of course unless you use that new profile..), why don't you just use this: http://valadoc.org/glib-2.0/GLib.KeyFile.html ?
I use it a lot when I need just a couple of key=value items and when things get complicated, I go for JSON or XML.
