If you just want show json in the http response

w.Write(jsonOut)

If you want to show json in html

t, _ := template.New("foo").Parse(`<head></head><body>{{$.data}}</body>`)   
_ = t.Execute(w, map[string]string{
    "data": string(jsonOut),
})

template.HTMLEscape will escape special character.

use following code can post json data to web

w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write(jsonOut)
