Getting json out of a fetch promise

I found a similar question here, but when I try to get the array away from the then statement I just don't receive anything.

The below code shows in console exactly the array I want:

var url = "http://localhost:5000/products";
async function getJSON(x){ 
     let response = await fetch(x);
     let data = await response.json();
     return data;
}
getJSON(url).then(data => console.log(data)); 

0: {id: '1', name: 'xxxxx', price: 28.8, x 
parcelamento: Array(2), color: 'gray', …}
1: {id: '2', name: 'xxxxx', price: 398, 
parcelamento: Array(2), color: 'black', …}
2: {id: '3', name: 'xxxxx', price: 398.8, par...

But I want this array out of "then". I tried several ways without success:

var url = "http://localhost:5000/products";
async function getJSON(x){ 
     let response = await fetch(x);
     let data = await response.json();
     return data;
}
array = getJSON(url).then(data => data); 
console.log(array);

Instead, I receive a promise and I just can't access the array:

Promise {<pending>}
[[Prototype]]: 
Promise[[PromiseState]]: "fulfilled"
[[PromiseResult]]: Array(14)
