// Option 1: Loading the .proto file directly
var builder = ProtoBuf.loadProtoFile("./json.proto"),    // Creates the Builder
    JS = builder.build("js");                            // Returns just the 'js' namespace if that's all we need

// Option 2: Loading the .json file generated through 'proto2js json.proto > json.json'
var root = ProtoBuf.loadJsonFile("./json.json").build(), // Here we make the Builder return the root namespace
    JS = root.js;                                        // then we reference 'js' inside. Both is possible.

var JS = require("./json.js");                           // Returns what is specified with -commonjs[=XX] (omitted=root)

// `JS` now contains the js namespace from json.proto: Value, Array and Object
