[protobuf] Is protbuf Java's toByteArray() method same as python's SerializeToString()?

[S M]

I'm working on python protobuf and I need to convert a protobuf object to
bytes. I know in Java, it can be done using toByteArray() method: byte[]
toByteArray(): serializes the message and returns a byte array containing
its raw bytes.

In Python there is SerializeToString() method: SerializeToString():
serializes the message and returns it as a string. Note that the bytes are
binary, not text; we only use the str type as a convenient container.

Found here:

Just wanted to make sure they both are the same.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, they both encode the message into protobuf binary format.
