Just because there are a lot of rules doesn't make something chaotic in this system. The lawful-chaotic axis is a spectrum of how much of a stickler for the rules you are. YAML's "one whitespace out of place and your whole config is fucked" attitude puts it squarely into lawful territory. JSON by contrast gives no shits about your file structure as long as your curly braces match.
