ProtoBuf from java application to web application

Question

This is very new thing for me. I am just wondering If we could send the ProtoBuf serialized data from java application to Web application (javascript) and de-serialize there. I am using TCP/IP connection in websocket to connect java application to javascript. I have been looking at https://github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/
but they are using node.js ,which is not in my case.

Thank you

ProtoBuf.js also runs in the browser. Basically, all you have to do is to connect your client to your Java server using a (binary) WebSocket and to send ProtoBuf packets back and forth.

Here is an example that decodes a message on the client side.
