unable get data from shared service in angular 6

Question

Am trying to share json data from one component to another component (like parent to child) .using a service.I have two methods in this service one for setJsonData and other is getJson Data.

Service Class

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class XeproviderdataserviceService {
  jsonData = {};
  constructor() {

    this.jsonData = {};
  }
  setXeProviderJson(val: object) {
    this.jsonData = val;
    console.log('setjson Data-', this.jsonData);

  }
  getXeProviderJson() {
    return this.jsonData;

  }
}

Parent Component

export class MainComponent implements OnInit {
  active = 1;
  constructor(private xeDataService: XeproviderdataserviceService) { 

  ngOnInit() {

  }
  selectTab(value, jsonData) {
    this.active = value;
    this.xeDataService.setXeProviderJson(jsonData);
    console.log('getting', this.xeDataService.getXeProviderJson);
  }
}

Child Component

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { XeproviderdataserviceService } from '../xeproviderdataservice.service';

@Component({
  // tslint:disable-next-line:component-selector
  selector: 'xservice-tab-component',
  templateUrl: './xeservice.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./xeservice.component.css']
})
export class XeserviceComponent implements OnInit {
   constructor( xeDataService: XeproviderdataserviceService) {
     console.log('get json Data', xeDataService.getXeProviderJson());
   }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

}

Above code i can able to set data using setJsonData function.when i trying to getdata using getJsonData method it will get empty. i couldn't figure out what I am doing wrong..... in browser i can see like this

You can use Subject for this process it will emit the value for every event triggers. Very simple and important topic "Subject"

Parent component

.html
<button (click)="updateName(yourValue)">Update</button>

.ts file

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { XeproviderdataserviceService } from '../xeproviderdataservice.service';

export parentComponent implements OnInit {

 constructor( xeDataService: XeproviderdataserviceService) {}

 ngOnInit(){}

  updateName(yourValue) {
    this.subjectService.setXeProviderJson(yourValue);
  }

In Your XeproviderdataserviceService Service..

import { Observable, Subject } from 'rxjs';

export XeproviderdataserviceService {

  subjectName : Subject<any> = new Subject<any>();
  observableName$ : Observable<any> = this.subjectName.asObservable();

  constructor(){}

   setXeProviderJson(name) {
     this.subjectName.next(name);
  }
}

Child Component

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { XeproviderdataserviceService } from '../xeproviderdataservice.service';

export childComponent implements OnInit {

 constructor( xeDataService: XeproviderdataserviceService) {}

ngOnInit(){

    this.xeDataService.observableName$.subscribe(value => {
    console.log(value);
    this.updatedValue = value;
  })

}

In your parent component you have declarded the service as private object private xeDataService: XeproviderdataserviceService but in your child component you have declared it as public xeDataService: XeproviderdataserviceService. It should be same in both component and then it will work as a singleton object of the service and then you should get the value.
