Solution 1:

When you do

MyApp.util.toXML = function(options, obj) {
}

(function(){
}());

you are actually invoking the function

MyApp.util.toXML = function(options, obj) {

Solution 2:

You are forgetting the ; after the function definition

MyApp.util.toXML = function() {
 // code
}; // this semicolon

Solution 3:
