The WebGLRenderingContext.uniformMatrix[234]fv() methods of the WebGL API specify matrix values for uniform variables.

The three versions of this method (uniformMatrix2fv(), uniformMatrix3fv(), and uniformMatrix4fv()) take as the input value 2-component, 3-component, and 4-component square matrices, respectively. They are expected to have 4, 9 or 16 floats.
