Not the same way. But we did similar thing using (Wt webtoolkit) and GDAL.
Using Wt, we were able to code in c++ and link with GDAL without any help
from bindings.  Wt also supports javascript and uses jquery heavily.

The code which we is under Apache license is out dated. I had made lots of
changes in the internal version. This includes rendering, styling, and
making an reusable API.

The plan is to release new code under open source soon as soon as I get
approval from my lab.(professor in CC'ed. Please feel free to discuss).

I can provide you a demo video of new version of lsiviewer -

Here is a temporary live link if you would like to try it. -

This shows a shapefile(GDAL through Wt) rendered(HTML5) on top of OSM tiles
