Why xor strings?

Hi, i was just wondering what purpose does it have to xor strings?
For example,
https://github.com/A5-/Gamerfood_CSG...al/Offsets.cpp

from the code above:

Code:

offsets.m_iHealth = U::NetVars->GetOffset( charenc( "DT_CSPlayer" ), charenc( "m_iHealth" ) );

so it comes from here
https://github.com/A5-/Gamerfood_CSG...al/cx_strenc.h

just so skids dont hex edit it, other than that, theres absolutely none

but how does it work? is it just protecting it from being hex edited or is it just to make the code look weird?

both
it's an easy / fast / low-security encryption

its just protecting the code from reverse engineer doing static analysis
but its kinda useless because in runtime it will load to memory and everything will be visible
