Can't select json and view it in angular unless i edit json

I want to access json in the same format:

 {"employees":[
{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}, 
{"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
{"firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones"}
 ]}

      

        
        
        
      

    

script:

    phonecatApp.controller('PhoneListCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http) {
    $http.get('employees/employees.json').success(function(data) {
     $scope.resources = data;
       });

      

        
        
        
      

    

if i remove "employees" so its attributes inside [] will get my data. but if left as an example above, I cannot reach my data.

Any help is appreciated.
