A Data provider is a set of libraries that is used to communicate with a data source. It enables software to "talk" to the data source, without knowing the internal details of the actual data source file structure.

A Driver contains mostly software which translates device specific input and output into a generic format for a system.

You could easily have found this on Google: please use it in future.
