Is there a way to remove namespaces from xml tags using C++/Boost or using some other library

Is there a way in C++, using Boost or some other libs , such that, a string containing :

<ns:abcd>
  <ns:defg>
    <ns:hijk>
    </ns:hijk>
  </ns:defg>
</ns:abcd>

transforms to

<abcd>
  <defg>
    <hijk>
    </hijk>
  </defg>
</abcd>
