Key word Driven Frame work :

Keyword driven framework is an action based test method used in planing and implementation of automation.

Data Driven Framework :

Data driven is the design of possible inputs what may be given by the end user.
This would cover maximum probabilities of an input data.
It can either be Spread sheet(excel)/sql/CSV.
We have to connect and pass the values to the respective field or element.
The data should be designed by the experienced person on the project. It may be a client or even non technical person but should be more familiar from an end users prospective.
We have to map the file path properly.

Hybrid Framework:

The Hybrid Automation Framework is otherwise referred to in the industry as a "Hybrid Keyword Data Driven Automation Framework".
