You could also write your config file in YAML and use YAML.jl. I'm somewhat partial to YAML for config files as it keeps simple things simple (like a bunch of key-value pairs), but also allows more complex data structures like nested lists if you need them. As far as I know there isn't a definitive best practice, but I think using one of the existing packages is definitely better practice than rolling your own config file parser.
