Easy object persistence in Vala (like shelve/pickle)

Question

I would like to transfer my code from Python to Vala, but i ran into problems.

Is there an easy method to store objects created in Vala, like you can do it with pickle/shelve? I would like to avoid running an entire database.

Welcome to stackoverflow! Technically this question is against the rules, because you are asking for a library here: http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic — Jens Mühlenhoff, Feb 06 '15 at 09:23
I have given you an answer anyway, but my answer is more to the question of "How can i find Vala libraries / API methods?". — Jens Mühlenhoff, Feb 06 '15 at 09:24
Also your question title should be phrased as a question, like "How can I persist GObject objects to a file?" or something like this. — Jens Mühlenhoff, Feb 06 '15 at 09:26

I don't know shelve/pickle, but have you tried to search for persist or serialize on valadoc?

I did a quick search and found something in the json-glib library:
