go - Stop json.Marshal() from stripping trailing zero from floating point number

Question

I got the following problem: My golang program converts some information into JSON. For example it results in the following json:

{
   "value":40,
   "unit":"some_string"
}

The problem is the "input" for value is 40.0 and the marshalling strips the trailing zero. It would be no problem if the EPL which reads the JSON would be able to read 40 as float without the .0

So the JSON output should look like:

{
   "value":40.0,
   "unit":"some_string"
}

Is there a possibility to "stop" json.Marshal() from removing the zero?

Edit: Value must be a Float
